Listen here Jason,

You've been negatively trolling me on trollbox all day instead of opening a proper dispute like an adult. Now you wanna type essays in here claiming fake proofs and AI images? Convenient.

I ordered exactly what you paid for. The items arrived to me. I sent proof. End of story. Now you're hiding behind "journalist" excuses and monitored mail because you don't wanna pay shipping and tip like we agreed. That's not my problem.

Fake tracking? Show everyone where. I sent photos of the actual bottles in hand. You just didn't like that you couldn't weasel out anymore.

You call me a scammer? Look in the mirror. You're the one in my DMs, on my listings, in trollbox all day instead of handling business. That's not truth. That's bitterness.

These new users on the platform are so sus!!!!!think they can bully and manipulate their way through everything. Not with me mate
I’ve been on this platform for quite a good time and have always delivered..not a single successful report scam have been seen since i joined..

Mods, review the history. I did my part. He didn't. I'm done entertaining this. Warn him and let me get back to my listings.

You are a lieing fruadster scammer. I'm not listening to your lies.

Here is proof: https://postimg.cc/gallery/zBjgfRf

You will see the:
1. Tracking Number is fake.
2. The Box of bottles, is FAKE brands and logos. The real bottles would say "Optimal Human" and "Toniq". AI Generated FAKE images is what ghostlink sent to me.

This IS a dispute! I DID do what your claiming I didn't.
YES, you DID send me fake proofs and fake images. Correctly, you are a fraudster, lieer, scammer.

You did not send me any REAL proof. You sent AI-generated Fake Proof.

End of story? Actually, you'r a scammer! I'm not going to send you more money, because you are a scammer who hasn't sent any real proof.

I have proof of the fake tracking number, go ahead, look at it: 12345678!! LOL!! Fake as it gets.

The bottles you sent to me don't exist by any real supplement company!! I compared the real images:

Real Toniq L-ergo:
https://www.toniiq.com/products/l-ergothioneine

Ghostlinks fake image:
https://postimg.cc/N2TL5jbX

"TONIC" Isn't a REAL BRAND!! Ghostlink Sent FAKE images!!

Yes I am bitter, because you are a SCAMMER!

Any mod who sees the images I sent, which were compiled from you, will side with me because I am right, Ghostlink is a scammer, 100%. I did my part, Ghostlink didn't do his. Ghostlink sent FAKE, AI generated scam images, nothing he sent was real. Ghostlink is a scammer.

this ^ image gallery, is a collection of images that ghostlink sent to me as "proof". Fake proofs. Fake supplement bottles, fake receipts, fake tracking numbers.
These were images he sent to me as imgur urls, via Private message, and I downloaded them are re-uploaded them to postimg for redundancy and ease of viewing.

Scammer warning, shame on him. He changed nickname, now it's:

https://xmrbazaar.com/user/Sarrr/

Here is his SimpleX user HodlHodl

https://smp17.simplex.im/a#Nm6oTjtmnxHZvwGLtF3KFdRqhPGi94lZr9D5vZ7bZ8M

His bullshit messages - typical talk of scammer raised on Telegram:

"My cake isn’t synchronized…I’m hoping by the time i’ll have gotten home it will be set"
...

"Can you prepare for all meanwhile???or can we do $500 btc worth then the rest?"
...

"I don’t get you….i just need all my xmr cleared….once i receive I’ll send immidietly trust me on this"

comment: yes, of course, trust! ;-)

"So i send the 0.31 first…once you receive send $2700 worth btc and ill send 8.5xmr you good with that?"
...

"I hear you absolutely…then we can do sth like $1000 first….add the $900 maybe and i do 3.08xmr"
...

"Then we do the rest to avoid too much exchange fees+your service fee on each transaction"

scammer wallet - disposable I guess:

bc1qd0zlft0hjz2824k2mn3lqhv5gez32ku0zr7xp0

"I’ll send the 3.08xmr once i get home give me like 15~20min"
... yeah yeah

"Send the $900 meanwhile so i’ll do the 3.08 all together"
... lol!

Hello, I was intrigued by this user: https://xmrbazaar.com/user/Digitalvendor/ who had server that were very cheap but no escrow...
I contacted the guy but I wanted an escrow, I wasn't going to send 400$~ in XMR to someone with one review and no escrow but he said something about how he didn't want escrow because he would need an insurance or whatever then pointed me to his only purchase, which was a sell of one of the servers:
https://xmrbazaar.com/listing/xgRG/
Bought by user:
https://xmrbazaar.com/user/offradio/

He said to contact him for "proof" of good faith as he/she bought a server. So I did but I asked him if he could send me a photo with my username... What happened is that the guy sent me a photo of a PowerEdge R720 with an ai generated note with my username (also missing the last number at the end). I did a reverse lookup and found in reddit the same photo he sent me.

This is the photo he sent:
https://dump.li/image/bbc758569524a684.jpeg
And this what I found:
https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/1r5knik/dell_poweredge_r720_no_post_no_idrac/
(second photo in reddit is the same server)

Which means that both users
https://xmrbazaar.com/user/Digitalvendor/
and
https://xmrbazaar.com/user/offradio/
are 100% scammers

I can send screenshots with both users conversations, Digitalvendor only contacted me over signal and offradio sent the photo and had a conversation over XmrBazaar

Also both reported the shipping with FedEx code: 888305068658 which is also not legit as FedEx reports 2.86kg which is impossible for this server as it could weight around 20kg completely empty.

Also, FedEx reports that the package was sent from London but the user selling the servers has sent his/her location in the USA

New users plagiarizing or copying text and imagery from reputable/established users' listings is a major red flag indicating a likely scam. This behavior will be reflected with a warning on the offending user's profile.
Not offering an escrow option for expensive/high-value items is another strong red flag for potential fraud.

Soon after your post, they removed the version with their nick in the corner. Additionally, got their first feedback from a listing they likely kept up long enough for an alt account to tag it. All this in ~30 minutes.
I'd agree, it's another scam account. Likely by who ever just had one of their other scam accounts flagged.

These listings for; buy latest flagship gpu's @ half price, along with the crypto to FIAT "user sends $100 and gets nothing in return" Seems to be a daily plague going on here. I imagine it's by the same few persons.

EDIT; Since the original listing was deleted, TheComputerGuy is the nick being discussed.

EDIT2; Renamed to TRAM

Scammer on XmrBazaar — Sharing My Experience So You Don’t Get Burned - Order #Tvjc

Hey everyone, I wanted to share what happened to me because I think it could save someone else the headache. The seller goes by “Shippingworldwide” (https://xmrbazaar.com/user/Shippingworldwide/) now, but they were previously flagged under the name “Sarr” (https://xmrbazaar.com/user/Sarrr/) back on March 5th. User “RTT” posted about it on the Scam Reports page (https://xmrbazaar.com/forum/topic/51/post/996/).

Here’s how I knew it was the same person:

a. Same message: “waiting for my cake to synchronize” (After the direct payment was confirmed on the blockchain)
b. Same Simplex link: https://smp17.simplex.im/a#Nm6oTjtmnxHZvwGLtF3KFdRqhPGi94lZr9D5vZ7bZ8M (It’s the exact same link RTT reported. No coincidence there.)

What I learned the hard way:

a. This seller creates new account with new usernames after getting reported. They push for direct payment instead of escrow. Once you send the money, they disappear with the “cake isn’t synchronized” excuse. Never confirms. Never delivers.
b. I’m telling you this because I don’t want anyone else to lose XMR. I know it feels frustrating to admit you got caught, but staying quiet just lets them keep doing it.

A few things to watch for:

a. Check the Scam Reports page before buying
b. If a seller wants direct payment, walk away (of course, with caveats!)
c. Save screenshots of everything
d. Report suspicious accounts immediately

I’m also hoping the admins look into this issue and consider the following suggestions:

a. Create a search functionality in the Scam Reports page - Convenient to search for certain keywords or chat history
b. Optional Feature to use pattern recognition to determine the similarity percentage of User-Seller chat history against the details on Scam Reports page (Must be at the discretion of the user, NOT mandatory; so as to maintain and respect user privacy)
c. Sellers should not be able to take direct payment orders until a certain threshold of successful escrow orders are completed

These are just a few suggestions to slow down these repeated offenders who just keep creating new accounts. If you’ve dealt with this seller or seen similar patterns, please speak up. We’re all better off looking out for each other.

Stay safe out there.

Thank you for taking the time to write this detailed warning and for looking out for the community: this is exactly the kind of heads-up that helps everyone stay safe.
I’ve added a profile warning to the Shippingworldwide account: accounts with warnings can no longer create new listings, but they can still finalize any existing orders (we’ve seen legitimate delays before, so we keep that option open and remove the warning once the order is completed or refunded).
I agree with your suggestions. Appreciate you speaking up. Stay safe out there!
