Hi friends,
I m a member of TE from september 08.
I have done 3-4 deals with TE members.Its a Great Online Community.
I have made many good friends here.

But today I m reporting a scammer among us.His user name is raj.king45
I made a deal with raj.king45 for a gfx card zotac 8600gt and a seagate 250gb hdd.(I was a buyer)
I chat with him on yahoo he showed me pics of the card and hdd with his name written on a slip.He said he is from patna and living with his uncle.I talked to him further to make sure he was a genuine guy and was satisfied.But unfortunately I was wrong.

I deposited 3.5k for the items to his account on 17.11.2008.
and he withdraw 3k frm his account same day as I inquired my bank after 4-5 days.
But he didnt shipped the items to my address given to him.
everyday I send him pm asking for refund or to ship items.But All in vain.
He make excuse's like his net is'nt working,I will ship it today and msg u back etc.he always come online at midnight on TE making an excuse that his net only work at night.I pm'd him to give his phone number to talk with him but didnt got any reponse.
So my intention is to just make fellow TE members aware of those fraudlent new members.I have just spotted one but there could be many.
So my friends dont deal with any new members until you know there complete details.
@raj.king45 If u are a genuine guy plz post here if u have any problem.
you have stopped posting since our deal.
 
^^^^looks like out of TE market, but he is not complaining as such, rather notifying others to be wary of this guy.....Hopefully everything turns out good in the end....
 
this is very sad and alarming for such a good website and online community, maybe you can take this up with the site moderators and they might be able to help....

yes the deal was out of TE market (there is no thread to the sale)

and yes I m not asking for any help I m just trying to help fellow TE members by giving the info.
 
That's why you shouldn't really be doing deals outside the TE market with folks you don't really know or trust.
 
I do have deals with people outside TE market. But I always make sure its a reputed member or I can catch hold of them personally i.e. same city or cash transaction thru a friend. ;)
 
Man its your own fault for trusting member having only 17 posts.There are strict guidelines for trades in market section and you made advance payment to junior member.

Further you made whole deal outside Market section.Consider 3500 fee for having hard lessons.
 
tell him you are going to report him to the police on a fraud case and you have his details. should knock him hard enough. as it is it looks like an e-crime to me and people get fined upto 5 lacks if caught and proven guilty.

Sure.. But where's the proof??

There's the bank transaction.

+1. You have his PMs/SMS etc in your inbox + the bank transaction + account number and proof that you transferred money to his bank account. Sufficient for legal action.
 
but thats not proof that he was purchasing something from him, as the money could have been transferred for any number of reasons (like he owed him money). Only a timestamped chat convo would help, but i dont know if that is valid evidence.

Truly Said even they will charge atleast 2500 INR cash for FIR only and bottle of daru.I know how punjab police works :ohyeah:
 
I think something needs to be done about such mishaps. Maybe something like an automated PM which comes to everyone who has just completed the minim requirements to be able to view the market section etc. Also members who have not met the criteria should not be allowed in the Market section at all. They should not be given enough privilege to even view the section. Maybe dealers paradise can be allowed, as we guys usually take the precautions and we only sell stuff , and these cons usually are the sellers, but in the Market section there are a lot of WTB threads that such imposters can use to make the deal happen outside TE. This will not only prevent many people from joining TE for the Market section , but also prevent any future scams.

Also maybe the market section should be hidden completely , and not just show up as a Private Section for unregistered users , as those who know that such a section exists , join. If its invisible , only Genuine users will join .
 
+1, but we've talked about this before. folks want to use the market to pull in new users, just like the old torrent invites thread, so dont think this will happen....
