phatbuyer attempted to scam me
« on: February 19, 2006, 01:40:16 PM »
i wanted to sell him a white phat, and we spent a while where neither of us wanted to take the first step.  then he agreed to send the money and went on about how i had the money and i wouldn't trade.  well, i have not recieved any money from anyone and sent him a screeny in our chatboz to prove it.  i think he was trying to scam me by pretending to send the money.  he claimed to be zspec as well.

John says:

John says:

partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:

John says:

John says:
forums say 133-140
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
120M right
John says:
well, the actual price is sketchy, seeing as they are rising rapidly
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
yea but lets use the price it is now
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:

John says:

John says:
i'd say rsc is a valid forum
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
okay, ill offer you $1050.00 and the money will get to you as soon as I recieve the phat
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
You cant get a better deal than that
John says:
hmm
John says:
i dont know about that method of payment
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
What would you like to do?
John says:
i realize that i am a new user on the techguide, but im under the impression that the payment comes first
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
The last time I did that i was scammed of around $600 from a green phat
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
Im sorry but I cant trust some people now
John says:
i understand the dilemma
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
but if you look on the forums people do trust me
John says:
would you mind waiting a sec?
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
of corse
John says:
can you link me to a thread in which someone left a positive feedback to you?
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
ok, one second
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
oh and this is my name for buying phats
John says:

partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:

partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
zspec32*
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
just trying to find a recent thread I had sucess on
John says:
nevertheless, i don't feel comfortable sending your a phat
John says:
without any payment
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
Im sorry but I cant trust anyone, especially someone so new to these forums
John says:
let me think of a way to end this problem
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
oh heres a link to the latest person I was scammed from
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
http://www.thetechguide.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=27109

partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
Well right now im on this account...
John says:
could you make a post with this zspec and say: this is partyhatbuyer?
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
Just think about my offer and we can get back to this later
John says:
i like the money offer
John says:
but i cant just send a phat without any proof
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
can I at least see that you have the phat first
John says:
i need to transfer it to a nub acount first
John says:
could you wait a minute?
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:

partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
Okay, but is $1050.00 a good price that your willing to accept

Okay.
John says:

partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
Im there, you?
John says:

partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:

John says:

partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
oh, okay
John says:
who are you?
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
okay
John says:
so, how are we doing this?
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
Well one of us is going to have to go first
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
And I have been scammed from a Party Hat before im not that willing to go first again.
John says:
well, i have as much in this as you...
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
First, who will I be sending the money to through paypal?
John says:
*******Email Removed
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
okay, im getting all of this set up on paypal
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
Give me a minute
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
Okay, its all ready.
John says:
we could do half and half?
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
One click of the button and the money is yours
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
Im sorry but that is still an easy way to take $500 of mine.
John says:
but if i give you mine, its an easy 1050 of mine
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
Well I have it set up to send you $1050.00 to tgrunnagleEmail Removed
John says:
that sounds good, but it doesn't solve the problem
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
On my side I see no problem, but I see why you are very cautious
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
Ill just say that I will not take your hard work because I know what it feels like to lose something worth so much.
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
It's all left up to trust now
John says:
i'm sorry but thats not good enough
John says:
damn, we have a mighty dilemma
John says:
you wouldnt happen to have 130m in rs gp would you?
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
Well im all ready for the trade, ass soon as you think your ready we can finish off this deal.
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
No, sorry
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
as*
John says:
i'm sorry, but i cant be the first
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
It will be at the same time, almost. Once you press accept on runescape Ill send the money to you on paypal.
John says:
but theres nothing forcing you to send it
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
I see why you are being cautious but I promis that you will get your money
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
All I can give you is my trust
John says:
i have no more reason to trust you as you do me
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
Is there no way you will send the white party hat first.
John says:
i don't see that happening, sorry
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
Okay, well ill look for some other seller. If you change your mind with in the hour ill still have the window open to send you the money.
John says:
i won't change my mind about sending it first, sorry
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
Sorry you feel that way and sorry you cant trust me. My $1050.00 stays mine and your white party hat stays yours as the time beings
John says:
i guess so
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
Is there any way I could win your trust?
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
Becides sending money.
John says:
i don't see of any, sorry
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
Good to see you chose computer pixles over $1050
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
Im sorry but on my side I see no problem because I will send the money
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
I just really want a white phat and I feel I lost my chance
John says:
i'm not saying i did, i want to sell it.  I see no problem on my sides, either, as i will accept as soon as you apply for a retrieval and cancel.
John says:
i wish to sell it as much as you wish to buy it
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
Wait so if I send the money I can get it back
John says:
you have to apply for some sort of retrieval
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
So in other words its a scam eaither I send it or not
John says:
but if you cancel the application, you can't do it again
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
If i sent it I could very eaisly get it back
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
(which I would not)
John says:
theres and application for money retrieval, you would apply and cancel so you could not ger it back
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
So why couldn't you trust me to send after I recieve or before you give when I could keep the money eaither way.
John says:
you apply for a retrieval after you send it, which starts an investigation into the payment.  you then cancel this investigation, as it were, and then you can't do it again
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
Sorry, I just see no flaw in my way and it would be eaisest, if you get back on again the $1050.00 will be yours in 2 simple clicks for both of us
John says:
the flaw is the possibility of your not paying
John says:
there would be nothing i could do
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
Yes but I sware on everything everywhere that I will send you your well deserved money
John says:
your word isn't enough
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
If you dont give trust to anyone that you will never get anything in life
John says:
i do trust people, but not this early with this much on the line, sorry
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
most people will not send you $1050.00 for something on a computer that im willing to do
John says:
there are many people who wish to buy runescape items
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
I am one of them, but most will not send $1050.00 to someone
John says:
i understand, but im not willing to risk on my half
John says:
i'm sorry this didn't work out
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
I guess you can't see that there are more people out there willing to do the right thing than people just wanting to take your stuff.
John says:
perhaps there are, but i'm not going to take the chance as you might be one of the minority
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
If you just get on the game, click accept 2 times than you are $1050 richer
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
I dont see why you are debating about so easy money.
John says:
i don't see why you are not taking the trusting step yourself, as you seem so sold on the idea of the good people in the world
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
ok get on runescape.
John says:
what are we doing?
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
ill send you the money in the 2nd trade screen on the game
John says:
youll have to apply for a reteival and cancel as well
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
I will
John says:
ok send it
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
Once I send it you have to accept
John says:
youll have to apply for dispute anc cancel too
John says:
then i accpet
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
Ill do that when you click one button
John says:
i can't do that
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
Money is sent...
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
...................
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
come on
John says:
dispute
John says:
and i don't see money yet
John says:
how long does tranfer take?
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
About a minute
John says:
we will have to wait
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
Nows a good time to end up your part of the deal
John says:
when i recieve the money and you dispute
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
im disputing now
John says:

partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:

John says:

John says:
then you cancel
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
The money is yours, now what is mine you should give
John says:
i have no proof that you have sent it yet
John says:
and i fear im close to auto logging
John says:
im going to cancel trade and move and retrrade
John says:

partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
...
John says:
well come right back to this screen
partyhatbuyerEmail Removed (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:

From the looks of it I'd agree that it looks like Phatbuyer is a scammer.  That was my initial thought anyways.  By the way, it's funny he tried to impersonate me even though I dont use MSN messenger.
