YoutubeTV Scammer

[krs2]

I purchased an Amazon gift card from him before he locked his post. I got a code but it had already been used, he said he would give me another one but many days later nothing. I posted a reply on his post but he just deleted it and locked his post

Scam report example:

What happened::
I saw escrow.ms's lolipop thread 4 days ago and placed a order for 1000 lolipops. After I sent him payment, he just went offline and never came back. I think he's a big liar and a scam artist. Stay away from him.

Additional Notes: I advise you to not deal with this user until this dispute is resolved.

It will make it easier understand what has happened to you, provide all the details you have and do not forget to provide the profile of possible scammers and the evidence that he cheated and stole you. Cares that you should take for future business: always use escrow. You can find some reliable escrow in this forum.

This is what many scammers do.

As Slow death said, please update your post with the relevant details using the correct format.

Is the thread that you are talking about and got scammed by this one?

This user(youtubetv) is not only a serial scammer that is known for his autobuy scams, he also is a probable alt of another scammer. All of this is documented on his trust page that you should have visited before dealing with him. His offers are way too good to be true, and in future please avoid all autobuy links, especially if the sales thread is self moderated or locked. They do not offer any sort of protection for the buyer.

50 posts here and you still fell for it, wow, he locks his threads, self moderates his threads so victims can't complain and has negative trust, there is also a sticky on the forum he posts warning people about this. Why would you buy from him ?

Relax, man. We were all there at some point. Even though the clues may be painfully obvious to us (with the red trust on YouTubeTV as an additional safety measure), self-moderated threads are a thing because they work and fool a busloads of people. It's a shame, and I agree that there is a plethora of resources that should have informed OP, but it's done and gone already - he's learned his lesson by now.

Lol, I'm relaxed, in fact I got scammed by the same guy a couple of years ago and no one was relaxed on me, they came down on me like a ton of bricks, which now I am glad because it made me more aware of scammers on this site, but until the staff here change the system then heaps more will be scammed.

Restricitng the self moderated threads in some sections may help the newbie to avoid the scams like these,what do you think guys?

But normally if something is provided with autobuylinks then the chance of scam is more so buyers need to read all the feedbacks lefton the user before dealing with him.

@OP please update the thread with appropriate format then only DT membeers will do the necessary actions but I doubt that this is his only account.

The reason why scammers lock their thread and make them self moderated is demonstrated by your case perfectly - they are able to censor out any sort of negative comments towards their scam, even though it's clear to anyone that no way is selling gift cards at such steep discounts a legitimate or sustainable business model. Essentially, scamming would be the only way that he will be able to

Any time you see the combination of a) Autobuy links b) Self moderated threads and c) Locked threads, please move away. A legitimate business would not try to stop people from asking them questions in public.

Most of these people are already tagged by DT anyways, so check their trust. I can guarantee you that if you see discounted gift cards being sold on autobuy, 9.9 out of 10 times, they've already have a negative trust on their reputation. Even if they don't, don't deal with them. If it's too good to be true, it probably is.

Scam accusations (in this well hidden area of the board which virtually no one, especially a NEWBIE would look) is a total waste of time especially since absolutely nothing is done about it.  The digital section is like a free-for-all for scammers.  I'd bet my life that well over 50% of the threads are from the same GROUP - it ain't one person - of thieves then 50% of what is left is simply idiot scammers.  There is no way one person could keep track of so many scam threads and alts.  Sometimes he gets so confused he actually vouches for himself - I have a couple of screenprints of that somewhere.

YoutubeTV alone has at least 20 alts I have recorded that have had individual scam threads and that is not counting the hundreds of fake alts he uses just to vouch his scam threads.  It is VERY SAD that the owners of this system don't kill some of them off.  YoutubeTV and his "accountservices2" group have been at it for over 2 years,

Here are a few (he has already deleted some)
