I don't believe DMO was purposely trying to scam anyone, however, the whole situation with everyone including myself is extremely shady. I think it was simply a case of him trying to do too much with the money he had and he put himself in way over his head. At no point did he disappear, or become difficult to contact. He checked in with me everynight, just no money. I've been scammed before, and I've never had a scammer continue contact with me after scam occured. Due to this I don't have any hard feelings but I'm just grateful to Senjitsu for helping me get my money back faster. Theres a lot of other details out there with other people that I don't know about, so I can only speak from my experience with him, however everything senjitsu mentioned regarding me was true.

You seem like a nice guy, but i think youre being a bit naive.

this is why he remained in contact

He knew that if he didnt remain in contact youd post negative things about him and stop him from getting additional stakes. Both the deal he cut with you, and him remaining in contact was most likely the cheapest way he could think of to keep you quiet.

If you want to know how someone like DMO's thought proccess and intentions work, read this thread

Can you give me some more details on this one? Or have this user PM me.

Wow@sending someone elses money to another random who claims to have a reversed paypal transaction. I was with you until you did that, but that's absolutely ridiculous. Deuce guy registered in April ffs, how do you know hes not a scammer?

Entire situation sounds FUBAR, but agreeing to send someones money to them via WU or whatever, and then sending it to some guy a day later after having some revelation is pretty crazy. If you had great suspicions why wouldn't you hold off for a few days instead of just giving out money that isn't yours?

Er...

Both parties agreed to this so I don't see a problem.

But doing it the way you described definitely would be not cool.

PM receive and situation seems to be taken care of.

yeah i think he pmmed me at the same time that he had worked it out... ns what the story was in the first place, all i knew is he claimed to have been scammed.

Yeah, obviously i verified the story was legit and confirmed everything by PM and phone before shipping the money to someone else. It shouldnt take more than a day to do this.

Did not realize he had sent the $100 until I signed on yesterday (we had done many trades before this and wasn't aware I owed) I sent him a $100 Amazon code today, plus an extra $25 code for the hassle) This not the type of person I am and do not want that sort of MO)

Thanks - Mike

u played stars on May 2-3 and didn't notice the extra $100 in ur account? Story doesn't add up.

I had two $100 wires that day and had almost a dozen the week before. The money I was playing with on May 2nd-3rd was $$ put into my account by me. I hadn't been on 2+2 in weeks and hadn't realized my mistake. (My private messages were not being sent to my e-mail address) Honestly, I don't even care if I'm kicked off the forums, I just don't want my name in the mud...because thats not ME.

My god after reading through this thread I will never stake anyone. Too many scams going on.



Shouldn't be an issue for you going forward.

Go check the staking thread and youll see that scams make up a small amount of the the total stakes that take place. They do happen though and stakers need to look at it as a cost of doing business like stores do with skrinkage.

There is always the potential for a scam, but stakers can do a lot to minimise this risk.

I don't really like looking as scams as "a cost of doing business". I would prefer to say that taking steps to minimise the risk is a business expense (and an absolutely necessary one at that).

3 players i wouldn't recommend staking under any circumstances

Negative feed back for W33ktight

thread here:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/10...camera-789788/


made a deal on the camera for $350 + shipping. I sent him my address, he told me he would send it 2 days later (the next business day). 24 hours later he sends me this pm:

He didn't scam me for any money but I will definitely not be doing any business with him in the future.

You look like an idiot in that thread jchristo, wow. Expecting someone to hold an item for you w/o sending payment, then crying when it gets sold elsewhere for more money. Seen one of these neg posts in here for a similar reason, basically gtfo and stop cluttering up this thread/attempting to tarnish someones reputation for something like this. Tilting.

I mean I guess it sort of depends on the conversation.

If it was something like:

"Hey I want that item - here's my address I'll ship in a few days" and then he sold to someone else then - meh. Its borderline but fine, imo.

If he went:

jchristo: "Hey I want that item for $350 + shipping"
w33ktight: "Ok sure its yours / sold"
jchristo: "Ok I'll ship in a few days"

And then he sold to someone else then yea that kind of sucks.

I also think it depends on the conversation, but if someone agrees to buy something from me I won't sell it out from under them unless they don't contact me for like 5 days. The way w33ktight handled jchristos complaint in the thread was terrible, though.

Basically this. Sold out from underneath me after we had a firm deal and then is really insulting and abusive. I understand if my negative feedback is deleted b/c this thread should focus on scammers etc. but on a site like ebay or w/e what he did is exactly what negative feedback is for.

Yeah this, though I might ask them to hurry up about it at 3 days.
