Another one bites the dust...


Okay guys, do you remember this post:


Seller RIPS OFF two people for $24,000... Intensive research reveals how he did it


Well, I recently checked the whois of the site in question to check the if the site had sold and I see it had changed owners.

I call up the owner....(drum roll please)

And lo and behold it's the same exact story.

Saw the site on craigslist, buyer sent over non-identifying paypal statements.

They used escrow.com and I was just 1 day too late. He released the funds to this guy the prior day.

They used a written contract so I'm not sure how that will play out.

I connected him up with the two other people that claimed they were scammed so hopefully they will build a case up against this guy.

I felt weird calling this guy up and saying

"Hey, did you just buy a site from Mr.blah blah? Oh yes, you did?

hmmmm, have you made any sales yet?

No sales...huh... well you might have been scammed...."


I feel a bit weird getting up in this guys business but really I feel a bit obligated to let him know.

You're like the grim reaper. I hope I never get a call from you

In all seriousness, though, you did the right thing and I commend you for going out of your way to help someone where you have no vested interest. I doubt those guys will have any recourse. Isn't it nearly impossible to sue somebody in another state? I'm sure you could do it but the costs and time would be a major headache.

Hey Travis, what's your phone number, I need to talk to you about a domain you just bought...




Just kidding...

Yeah hopefully they'll do something. If the checks were sent by mail than you have a mail fraud angle... who knows - I'll follow up with the buyer in a few weeks to ask how he handled it.
