    Depends what you mean by duped.
    If you mean his sales page convinced you to buy and now you don't like it, you weren't duped.Unless he outright lied. Did he?

    What do you mean by duped. Usually you need to sort it out with the member but if you share the info. maybe someone may be able to advise you further.

        Only if he names the perceived duper.

        If he just explains what happened, that's a different ball game altogether.

        But yep, name dropping in that vein certainly is breaking a rule.

      No Sales Page. Got a Random contact request on skype, he told me he had a service i require but after I paid he just blocked me. I tracked him here with his payment gateway. Exact Match Username and domain.

        No offence but why would you give money to someone who randomly contacts you via Skype ?

        Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

          You mean you don't hire everyone who adds you on Skype?

      I'm glad Paul made you feel better. I'm surprised if he or the admin here could do anything for you since this didn't happen on the forum.

      I know. However, If no actions is taken against scammer it will just make business dirtier here. I didn't complain of customer service or tricking me with his service. He simply blocked me when he received the cash. In fact he did scammed various people out here. I believe even you wouldn't like if the members are scammed left right and centre

      I had requested something from a different forum. He added me. It happens that way.

        Not sure what you are trying to say here. Of course I don't want to see anyone scammed,even those that should know better

        The fact is you claim you got scammed.
        Instead of dealing with it the way you should, you claim you tracked him down here,to a forum where you admit you had never had any contact with him.
        If in fact it happened as you say,you should have immediately filed a dispute with whatever method you paid this person by. You have not said if you have done that or not.

        After your last post,this makes even less sense.You said you had requested something from a different forum,so why aren't you dealing with this there,instead of here?

          The payment gateway he used is a scammers delight, 2checkout. I filed a dispute immediately but the response was to get in touch with him as they don'y have any control over it. I tried getting touch with him on email and naturally he won't respond.

          I know a lot people on this forum. I am no stranger to this forum. The Scammer has no existence over that forum.

          Wish I could have asked you before doing anything. Still nice to meet you.

        I think perfect might be pushing it.

    I haven't had a 2CO account in years.Joined them when they first started but was not happy with them or their support.
    Never tried to get a refund from them,but even using them don't you have to use a credit card? Contact the card company and file a dispute.
