Any paypal rating? Paypal verified member or not?

 

sigh.. first purchase on the forum and it was the great exhaust im looking for.. hopefully we can find this guy and bring him whats coming to him, or at the very least make him pay all the money back.

 

just checked again with shipping company.. nothing..

 

He's a paypal premier member.

 

dispute opened, i really hate to say it, once i start using paypal i've never had trouble with other people.. this is my first time.. and im sure im gonna have trouble purchasing from others from now on..

 

lol. Good call.

I'm not really convinced Baddam is his actual last name. I looked a bit for him, and although certainly not through a definitive source, couldn't find anything. Unfortunate.

 

sigh.. hopefully paypal will come thru with this.. for everyone who got scammed.. i think we should all mention that we're on the same forum and definitly make this seem more servere for paypal to deal with it.. hopefully we can all get money back and shut this guy down.. tho i really feel like finding out whre this douche is.

and to op.. you better be on a vacation or something.

 

I have escalated it from a dispute and into a claim with paypal.

 

You paid for the exhaust too?

 

yeah i did, and he told me hes shipped them.. so we're both fucked.

please do the dispute with paypal and personally tell them about this situation so we can make this sound more servere.

thanks

 

Sorry to read about all this. Good luck to you all

 

You both need to escalate this from a dispute and bump it up into a claim so that paypal will get involved and add these threads.

 

Ok I changed to a claim and explained what is happening. What about in addition to that, I get a list of everyone's name and amount they lost and submit the info to canadian authorities. You can do it through the internet. Can't be hard for them track him through his email and paypal info, especially if he's receiving things through paypal address. I think they'll be more likely do to something if there's a list of 8-10 people that got scammed. I can do the work of finding out who to contact in Canada. May sound silly and not get us anywhere but it's worth a shot. PM me your name, an method you can be contacted (maybe just an email), and amount you lost.

 

Including myself I have 3 names so far to work with. Anyone else, feel free to PM me. Like I said, it may not helping but can't hurt to try. More names the better.

 

Just escalated to claim. Tried to include as much info as possible including copies of all PM's and link to the thread. Hope it helps.

 

I was going to buy the strakes. He sent me total but something made me not send the monies
Am glad I did not send any monies.

 

man this really suck guys. i hope pay pal gives yall the money back

 

claim opened and escalated. did anyone get anything yet?

 

wow... more than expected amount of people got scammed...
canadian scammed americans lol...

 

I am not sure if this type of forum supports a feature similar to this but many other forums log IP addresses when posts are made. If this guy was not using a public wireless, has a non static ip, or was using public computer access to make the post and the mods of this forum are at liberty of giving out this type of information you may be able to track him/her down by the IP, its a long shot.

Another interesting test would be (if you do have access to the IP address) to query the database member tables or where ever that IP data is stored in the database and see if the scammers account IP matches any of the other members IPs if it does the other account may have more information about the identity of the scammer.

Someone with more network experience may be able to chime in here and give more information if something like this would give you valid results for tracking someone down.

I feel for everyone who lost out on this guy so i figured i would try and add some possilbe help.

 

this forum most definitely logs ip address.

also of peculiar interest is the paypal e-mail is an ISP address.. those are not a dime a dozen.. so it's more then likely his own or someone very close to him.. markbadda@telus.net

 

i think his real name is...

mark bad dad.

 

His email is not his name and he is not located in Le Duc. I think I have a name, IP address but don't want to jump the gun. Like I posted earlier, I'm trying to get the local Canadian authorities involved through a website that deals with scams (in Canada). Should be quite easy to track him down.

 

i hope yall get that guy

 

anybody gotten money or parts yet? I will my cash back in a few days via paypal.
