Please delete this thread, ASAP.  The scammed amount was paid back to me a year after the incident initially occurred, and I have agreed that if he paid back what he stole, I would have this thread deleted.

Zen Master - Paypal Scammer

[SaintDevil]

Can you actually take him to court because you can prove it he received it? And you have all communications with him.

[greyhawk]

There's no need to reveal that info. It's clear as daylight: To go buy drugs on Silk Road for "festival enhancement". Elementary, my dear Watson.

[greyhawk]

which is what i don't get - it seems like he would realize this (scamming for $555) would be a very bad idea ... too many drugs to think straight, maybe.

In my experience with addicts they tend to ignore faults in their reasoning if that means they will get their fix harder/better/faster/stronger.

[OpenYourEyes]

That sucks.

I would certainly take legal action against him, I'd say you have enough proof to win the case, and so all the financial court charges will be on him.

Write a response back to PayPal stating that you will be taking legal action, he may fold.

If I was you, and you know the festival he is attending, take a few buddies down and give him a nice greeting.

[AndrewBUD]

geeez.... what a douche.

[DeathAndTaxes]

which is what i don't get - it seems like he would realize this (scamming for $555) would be a very bad idea ... too many drugs to think straight, maybe.

He likely was very sober when he made that decision.  He stole $555 with essentially 0% risk. 
Just like hundreds of other scammers do.  You are never seeing that $555 back again.

The idea that he should be worried is kinda laughable.  Hopefully you get your money but honestly your story isn't unique.  Search the forums and you will find a couple hundred exactly the same.  They all have the same outcome.

idk, this one was retarded enough to leave huge tracks all over the net. It would be extremely easy to instigate a "karmic backlash", i.e. inform any- and everyone he has ever known, what a fine upstanding character he is.

[AndrewBUD]

Do you have much info on this guy?...

[Nolo]

Are you remotely close to NC?  File a police report for theft.  Give the police all of his information that you have.  Then go to small claims court (not what they call it in NC), and file suit for breach of contract and conversion.  You know his name and address.  Have the sheriff serve him.  He'll have 30 days to respond.  If he doesn't, you win by default.  Execute on him and recover your money.  

Now is this a pain in the ass?  Yes.  

Is this going to cost money?  Yes, but you can do all of this yourself without an attorney.  Your costs will be travel expenses plus court costs.  

But that's your only legal recourse at this point if you can't talk him into just paying you back.

Works for me!

[greyhawk]

Do you have much info on this guy?...

He lives in a very small town with a population of just 17,186 people. He also lists interest/membership to several smaller circles of interest groups within that town community.

Dropping info about this thread strategically with these groups as well as community heads in a town that small will have the whole town discussing that in a miniscule timeframe. These communities are usually starved for fresh juicy news to blabber about.

Little bit of work, but I bet it will be well worth it in the long run....

[greyhawk]

Especially in a town known particularily for it's storytellers and right within the Bible Belt.

[AndrewBUD]

I would call the local Sheriff's office....

Tell him the story........ Maybe get the sheriff to pay him a visit.

[greyhawk]

Yup. Start with that. If that doesn't do it -> get him ostracized.

[BCB]

If you post on his facebook you should post a link to this thread.

It would help to find his twitter account or any other social media he uses.


nobody should care what you do with your bitcoins. It's a free country.

But when you buy BTC with PPUSD

to by DRUGS on SR

to take to your hippy dippy festival

Then after the fact you decide to CHARGE back the person who was nice enough to sell them to you in the first place.

That's not cool Zen Master Chandler "Takliano" Corbin.

[AndrewBUD]

^ I sent him a msg on facebook.... Stealing is bad karma dude....

[BCB]

Others should "like" those posts.

It will rise to the top of his stream.

[c0dex]

Thanks for the support, guys.  I can't spend much time on the fb stuff due to work, but looks like some kind strangers from around this forum are helping to spread the word.

[c0dex]

One of the guys helping to spread the word just sent me this:

[BCB]

Nice.

Also looks like one of his class mates doesn't like him either.

[SgtSpike]

Rofl.

[AndrewBUD]

In a town that small.... This is going to be funny

[BCB]

Instead  of buying him flowers, maybe we could all pitch in and buy him some Petuli.

[c0dex]

hahaha, yeah, he'd likely prefer it!

[AndrewBUD]

Could contact the Sheffis office by email:

[c0dex]

It's difficult to decide just how much to bother with this dumb ass.

[BCB]

Excessive phone calls and emails AND ANY THREATS OF VIOLENCE are  ILLEGAL .

Just be clear with any contact you make with him that your are calling or emailing or posting to collect a debt.

[AndrewBUD]

I would be pissed....... sending an email can't hurt...depends on you really...



BCB: anytime dealing with the public like this you'd want to have respect... Yelling and swearing isn't going to get you anywhere

[c0dex]

Yeah, I definitely don't want the guy hurt at all!  I just want my $555 back!  Either way, this is nothing worth anyone getting physically harmed over.  And if he does return my money, things can be deleted for him.

[AndrewBUD]

I would send a quick email to that sheriff's office.... He might be interested to know that he's committing some sort of fraud..

[c0dex]

holy shit ... my friend Andrew just sent me this:

[EDIT: removed for the safety of the messenger]

apparently Chandler likes to beat women.

[AndrewBUD]

What a piece of garbage....

[AndrewBUD]

Sounds like they don't like this guy.. I bet you some leg work is going to get done for you only because this guy is unliked already.

[c0dex]

All I want is my money back.  $555 might not seem like a lot to some people, but it's a lot to me, and I fucking hate scammers.

[AndrewBUD]

Ditto. $550 is a nice chunk of change.. I would be upset over much less.

[smracer]

I had a guy scam me out of $900 for a computer using paypal a while back.

I filed in small claims court and he never showed up.  I got a judgement against him and they arrested him and about a year later I got a check from the court for the full amount.

It was a pain in my ass but I got my money and I was happy.

[BCB]

regardless of the amount

Drug addicts and other scammer need to be put on notice they can some bitcoiner will not be easy marks.


(I KNOW!  It's hard to send them message when we all have the wonderfully legacy of mybitcoin.com, bitcoinica.com, BTCS&T, and GLBSE!)

but some of us have to take a stand.

[BCB]

bo2573

Good for you!  That's great with physical goods.  Won't work with BTC.  It is also against PP's TOS.  Any bitcoiner is assuming that risk when using it as a medium of payment.  

The point it that collection does not have to end with PP.


That is what we are doing here.

that is awesome, bo2573!  but, like BCB mentioned, i don't have the same kind of recourse with btc through paypal.  all i can hope is that someone will get through to him and he will return my money.  he isn't responding to email or facebook though.

[AndrewBUD]

Email the sheriffs office.... Worse case they say there is nothing they can do..

[BCB]

this is a civil matter, not a criminal matter.  It's likely they won't do anything, unless Mr Corbin is already a person of interest in another matter (ie drug dealing, petouli smuggling).

[c0dex]

Since he is currently on probation, I think he probably wouldn't want more trouble.

[AndrewBUD]

Since he is currently on probation, I think he probably wouldn't want more trouble.

just let him know.. Give him until Monday morning to do something or call Paypal back to tell them he made a mistake in reversing the charges...


If not... Have a nice chat with the Sheriff... He probably knows the guy personally.... He's a woman beater and all..

[c0dex]

Update from Andrew:  Chandler is in Chapel Hill, NC ... not Boone.

Must be the same Sheriff's office?

[BCB]

Then maybe a call to his probation office that he's committing internet fraud would be in order.

You might want to let Mr. Corbin know that in advance.  He may agree that paying you back would be more beneficial then facing additional charges.


ALL HE HAS TO DO IS CALL PP AND TELL HIM HE RECEIVED THE MERCHANDISE AND PP WILL RELEASE THE FUNDS BACK INTO YOUR ACCOUNT.

[axus]

I wonder how Paypal will do that after he's taken out all the money to buy more drugs.

[c0dex]

I wonder how Paypal will do that after he's taken out all the money to buy more drugs.

I have no idea.  The claim was filed on his behalf via his credit card.  The email I received from PayPal stated that the transaction had already been reversed, and since I don't have proof of shipping, they automatically side with him.

Funny thing is that he didn't claim that the charge was fraudulent - he just claimed he never received the item (bitcoins) .... which at least is an admission on his part that he did in fact place the order himself.

Sure you do.  No reason you can't file a small claims court lawsuit just the same as bo did.  It'll be more difficult to explain the bitcoin part of it, but you're still owed the same amount of recompense for your troubles.

[c0dex]

Oh, what do you know - he just responded to one of my emails:

---

from chandlercorbin@yahoo.com:

"HI, What are you asking about? Im pretty sure you have the wrong chandler corbin? I live in colorado and I do not have any record of beating anyone?"

---

that's hilarious because he has a record of being arrested for harassment in Steamboat Springs, Colorado ... and then never appearing for the court case ....  lol.

Here is a link to his probation information:

Also:

at the exact same time as he emailed me claiming not to be the Chandler Corbin in question, he also deleted all of our facebook posts and us from viewing his profile.


UGH.  fucker is trying to run instead of just paying what he owes me? 

[BCB]

Is it possible you could be held liable for aiding a crime?

Give him a few days to return the funds, or cancel the PayPal action, if he doesn't then file a police report. It won't cost anything and won't take long.

selling digital computer code that may or may not be used as a medium of exchange and/or to buy drugs is NOT an crime.


If I sold someone a hammer and he beat you over the head with it.  Am I liable.   Ahh NO.  Now if I told someone  I would buy him a hammer if he would beat you over the head with it and he does and that could be proved in a court of law then that is a different story.

Report it, and potentially see a return.

his response was that he didn't know what i was talking about because he lived in colorado.  which was kind of funny because that response was sent from Boone / Chapel Hill, North Carolina -- and he also mentioned on his fb page about having lived in CO before.  so, basically, it is / was the correct person and he plans just to keep on scamming, apparently.

how did he contact you and how did you know it was coming from North Carolina?

[c0dex]

how did he contact you and how did you know it was coming from North Carolina?

he replied to an email that i sent to his PayPal-listed email address -- from the PayPal account he used to scam me.  i knew it came from NC because i looked up the IP from his email:  68.119.34.71  ... which is Boone, NC.

Most mail servers send the real IP along side the server IP.
Sometimes it will show a LAN IP instead of the WAN IP, depending on how the router is setup

if you are sending from you isp's email then yes your ip would be reported but if you are using webmail the webmail server would be the originating ip.

Most of them do, yes. That's an anti-spam measure.
The days when webmail only sent the mail server IP are long gone thanks to spammers.
I think yahoo was one of the last webmail services to drop that.

hmmm  gmail DOES NOT report local ip.

Update:
Someone (Andrew F.) let the Sheriff know about all of this.  it sounded like the Sheriff already knew, as he stated that Chandler was already on "several peoples radar screen". 

So hopefully at least he won't be able to continue scamming people forever.

I havn't tried in a while but I thought if you did hotmail to hotmail it would show you the senders IP ?
and same for gmail to gmail ?

hmmm  gmail DOES NOT report local ip.

Seems to be Facebook flaking out again. The page loads up fine for me. Also the hippie apparently impersonates Spider Man now.

I would contact paypal and let them know you contacted the sheriff's office about this guy. Letting them know he's a known loser,thief,woman beater...

Well, this has taken up enough of our day.  Thank you all for your help and support - I think though that I have to accept my loss and move on.  I firmly believe that karma will find its way to him one day.  He's quite a piece of (crappy) work.

Karma, shmarma. Take a road trip and beat $570 worth of karma out of this shitty hippy's ass.

That's not an option... Only some people might see driving across a country for a few hundred $$ as worth while.

and yes, i'm aware that such a transaction would be illegal. I'm posting facetiously.  Still, hippy deserves a truncheoning.
