I found this in ripoffreport and thought it belongs here. I know who was selling the domain. I did not know he had been ripped off by TheButcher.
The guy who was selling it seems like a nice guy and it is a shame that this happened to him.
I did a touch of editing so that it does not break board rules or divulge entrusted information.
One more to add to the list of TheButcher's victims.
Cliff notes version:
Guy wants to sell a domain.
Guy has done some business with TheButcher (Dave) before.
Guy contacts TheButcher to see if he wants to broker the domain for him.
Guy makes deal with TheButcher. Sell domain for $900, TheButcher gets $200.
Next Day TheButcher borrows $334 because he is short on cash, promises to pay back $440.
Time goes on, Butcher does not pay back and also does not provide info on how the domain sale is going.
Finally the guy calls out TheButcher.
Very familiar type story, isn't it?
Quote:
I started to contact Dave the owner of [edited out] around the new year Eve 2015 , I was trying to sell my domain called [edited out] . Because I was unsuccesful selling any of domains on the boards , I hoped to get some interested buyers by looking for a broker. I had experience with Dave in past so I went to his forum asking for a deal he have . At first he dont show any desire to be a broker but I offered him $200 prepayment because he said $60 is small offer that he would not consider .Finally he agreed to promote my domain . The deal was if he could sell the domain at $900 then the $200 can be for him no need to refund me that.
Next day he asked me to send $334 and he will send back them $440 on Monday ($100 gift as reward for my generosity) because he is short on money . It felt very suspicious although and I did hesitate but had some compassion for him so I helped since he would assist me with domain which a big matter for me. I remember he asked me for another $300 after couple of hours but I did refuse (I got the concept he wanted to sell the domain to me after lending all the money from me- classic scam scheme. At this point I started to worry about money in fact it's seemed i sent it to the wrong person. But the next day I tried to forget my doubts to not be stressed . I give him a period .
He did not send the money as he said in meanwhile I was not getting any real updates about the domain if it get any real offer or no . I have been regular in his forum for almost every day and sending messages via pm he was un-serious
repeating words like "payment will be fine tomorrow " or my bank in holidays . then he said money stuck/froze that made i know he is lying trying to hold money for longer time but i doubted he will really scam me and turn very cruel against me after what i did to him.
Then other day another excuse because martin luther king day . I became angry and insulting I have called him scammer several times . He said he will send the money but just only to keep me calm. I did dispute the 2 payments total $534 on paypal with screenshots of the communications I got the results after few days . He won the dispute with the help of his cheating lawyer. I could not believe what happening he was lying all the them evading from refunding me trying to make stop taking action against him he was nervous. I called my credit card company about the accident they send me forms to fill chargebacks . I filled them twice and was feeling sick because no one has helped me and paypal sided with him.
I waited 3 months as my credit card suggested but again at the end he won the case because the thief faked every thing and said it's ad purchase to pp so they keep in holding money but it wasn't ,
I was scammed and they took the money from me without getting anything just troubles , pain , damages.
I even had more damages as side effect of the whole scam.
