p.2 #1 · p.2 #1 · Is this a scam?


Aloha all,

This was a painful experience for my friend and I. Being the person who suggested to voice808 about Fredmiranda.com quality of sellers and buyers. Never thought my friend first buying experience would turn out to be a scammed. I should have been the person to do his communication for him but I wanted voice808 to build up his feedback. We learn new things everyday but unfortunately it was a very expensive one.

It goes to show everyone to be extra diligent now that there are more scammers everywhere.

I want to thank Jonathan for helping on the matter, deep dive into this situation and finally shed the light into a scam scheme.

This scammer may got money from my friend but Karma will hit him/her 10 fold.

Sure, but many honest people, as well as probably all nefarious folks, want to be anonymous. Any attempt to enforce some kind of relationship between a member's name and email address would end up with matching but (mostly) bogus usernames and emails. A similar effort to verify real names and make people use them, would probably result in many honest people leaving the platform.

In the end, all you have is (i) be careful and (ii) use an insured form of payment; typically PayPal (for an item) or a protected credit card.
