[confirmed] SCAMMER: user Leon

[error]

I had a strong suspicion that this would go bad when Leon deleted his for-sale post. Scammers often do this to attempt to buy some time to get away with their scam.

Guys, I've said it time and time again... you need reputable middle men!

Escrow, arbitration... these things are important.

He is seeming to be a scammer. He sent me a bogus ups tracking number. Thank god for chargebacks, why would a scammer accept something that can be easily charged back... Interesting

When you mean bogus you mean it has not received it ups or is not valid at all well fuck I'm out 410$ thank god i paid in dwolla fucking filing a dispute at the end of the week if I here nothing to be safe.

Wait lets figure this out if you paid him 410$ for a 6990 PLEASE POST

Because if more then 2 people payed for 2 6990's that means this was definably bogus bullshit

Should I shamelessly promote my bitcoin escrow site https://mybitsafe.com?  Nah, that wouldn't be appropriate.

So me and bitcoinwebhost bought the 2 6990's did anyone else buy an non existent 6990 because he said he had 2 and if 3 people bought them its a total scam...

Sorry folks, I was only at 90% sure this was a scam when he first posted his for sale thread. I made an accusation via PM to a couple folks once this haploid23 thread started though. Good call haploid23, but sorry to hear this happened yet again. I would not be surprised if this is the same individual I have been tracking for a couple months now.

I also really apologize that I didn't Google his email right away. I did not thoroughly examine him, and that caused this thread to go the wrong way. I will not make that mistake again.

i didn't exactly file a dispute, but i tried to have them stop my pending transaction before it clears into his account.

i tried calling on during the weekend, but they only work during normal business hours, so i left them a voicemail and also sent an email. then first thing monday, i woke up at 6am PST, which was right when they opened at 8am CST, to call them and let them know about this. basically dwolla can't just cancel the transaction that i already initiated, so the only option they gave me was to suspend my account. what this does it not allow any money going into or out of my dwolla account, but also the pending $410 will NOT go to the asshole scammer. it will still get withdrawn from my bank account, but it will go directly to dwolla instead, which then i'll need to file a dispute with my bank to get it back. but the most important thing is that it does not get sent to the asshole. basically i had my own dwolla account frozen and locked, i can't even log on for the time being. so much hassle  

what dwolla really needs to do is also lock the asshole's account so that he's not able to scam anyone else's money or withdraw that money into his bank account. is your dwolla payment sent directly from your bank account or did you already have money in dwolla to send? if you sent money from your dwolla to his dwolla, it's instant payment, which i'm pretty sure he already withdrew it into his bank account. if that's the case, i'm not sure you can just pull that money out from his bank account, into dwolla, then back into your dwolla. but if your money is still in his dwolla, then you can probably take it back after filing a dwolla dispute. that's why dwolla really needs to freeze his account too.

So he's still not listed a a scammer?

Hope that gets updated soon.

i already updated the title of the thread
