SCAMER BUSTED! (Bonus852)
I would like to tell all about this nice little story for what happen to a scammer that tried to
steal funds of our members by fraud.
First of all.
This user's name is: bonus852 on Rolclub. He came the other day claiming that he has done many exchanges and does that for living.
Then he quickly engaged with the exchanges with our members. One of the long time users of this forum known by many "korris" got into an exchange with him.
Exchange was set to 120 egold for 120 paypal.
Korris told this Bonus852 that he has to send paypal first, as there is no way to get the
Egold back once sent. Once Korris received 120 in his paypal, he sent of 120 usd in egold back to Bonus852.
Just 2 hours later, Bonus852 logs into his own paypal account from a VPN which he also uses to register on Rolcub forum under several other usernames (Now all banned)....
And files a unauthorized charge claim (which means more or less that the money was not sent by him. When paypal check the login history to his account, they see a new IP, that was never used before, and simply accepts his request and send the money back to Bonus852's paypal account..
This way. Neither did Korris get the paypal. And he also lost 120 egold as it cant be charged back.
Just by a pure accident, i was coding for this forum, where admin asked me to do some template changes for him on this forum... Where i have to have an admin status on VB forum to conduct my work. On other hand this member an i exchanged several PM's, as all Admin's Pm's were forwarded to me as he was bussy studing for his exam!.
Now this user contact me to do an exchange. I was in impression i will do that exchange where he send me 300 Ebullion currency and i send him back 300 Ebullion GOLD.
When i got the currency, i was going to send him the ebullion currency, but just in that very moment i was warned by Korris and a few others from different forums to not DO ANY EXCHNAGES WITH THIS GUY...
I then confronted him, with what the hell is this? WHy you scammed Korris.
He came with some lame excuses about getting paypal funds from a client, and paypal did a chargeback on it.. Well that is not true..
Paypal never does chargeback like
Paypal-----Customer ---->bonus852------>Korris
They only do a chargeback on Bonus852's account if funds are illegal, and korris will still have his money, but Bonus852 has to cover the chargback from his customer himself! So his explanation about his funds beeing chargedback S.U.C.K.S...
I told him and korris to fix this issue. Well Bonus was in such a situation that if he did listen to me, he might get his bullion back after fixing this issue with korris..
Korris on the other hand wanted BONUS852 to just send back his funds. Bonus did not reply to any email from korris until i was sitting with his funds in my account, and forced him to fix this issue first with korris before any trade..
NOW, bonus852 has not been honest all the way. He first use VPN out of hongkong to scam people on other forums giving them links to threads of users that actually do an honest ecurrency exchange... He then registeres on other forums with the same username as on these forums where the users is doing a good exchange...(so someone has the username bonus852 on a few other forums with good repuration of exchanges, and this person comes here registering as that person, with same username, and gives people
the link to those forums to check his repuration... When they do, they exchange, and he scams them....And when you check with the same usernames on these other forum, about what the hell he did on our forum to our members..That person responds. You know that was not me. Someone else regitered this username on your forum... YOUR SCAMMED!
Korris got his 120 usd back. But Bonus852's $300 was never exchanged by my back.
I also banned Bonus852 all over Rolclub forum, with his IP. And have a damn good ip detection system installed that will ban all his ips.
Bonus852 realize after 2-3h that now he was scammed by me... YES i scammed him openly. And i am honest to tell about that. We do not need such users to join our forum, where honest people do exchanges...
I have now unbanned 1 of bonus852's ips and his username so that he can respond to this post. I have tons of proof with snapshots and all. So does he... But the fact of this thread remains the same.... He is a scammer and he will not get his money back if its upto me.
But then i ask the Admin and the users of this exchange forum. Do you want me to return his money back? Do you want such people to hang around our exchange section?
I know its not honest to take his money, and fall to the same level as him. Frankly my heart does still not accept it, and that why i am asking in open to you all what you would do? If i let him stay around, and he does not get the taste of his medicine, he will always come around to scam other members here on this very board...
I will look at Members views. And i will look for Admin and Yogibrood's decition on this matter...
Coz if they say give back, i will. If they dont say anything, i will take this money..
I unban Bonus852 now for his say.. But the decition on this matter is totally admin's...
Remember me. A lesson learned!
