Possible scammer, Ryza TL;DR (proof)

*********************************Mods, for the icing on the cake, scroll down to the bottom, where I prove that he's ignoring me, yet willing to take money from my "n00b" persona that I made - all too eagerly. He has now been ignoring me for almost a week now and ignored my countless emails (to the email on his SYTHE profile - so you know it's not an imposter) but he showed up within two minutes of when I made a 'fake' account and tempted him with money there. Took him a whole two minutes after days of ignoring me and my friend. It was tasteless of him and it still is, considering that he hasn't responded to either of us.*********************************

***NOTE TO MODS: At this point, me and a fellow user are assuming we are scammed. Seller took our money and immediately stopped contact. This happened to a fellow user before it happened to me. She was messaging him, asking for a status on her product, and he repeatedly ignored her mails BUT he was talking to ME in the meanwhile, discussing a deal, up until I payed him. Now he is ignoring both of us. He has been ignoring her for two days now and he has been ignoring me for almost a day. I have sent him emails, added him on MSN (he logged in but didn't acknowledge me), and he has been online several times within the past while and should have mailed us. This thread is mostly to collect proof. Normally, she and I would wait a bit before reporting but seeing as how she contacted me about him 'poofing' on her and not giving her her product for 3+ days now (If you are lurking and notice my times change, it's because I update the times as time goes on with no progress) now OR replying to her messages, we are assuming the worst. I know that people have IRL lives but this guy is VERY active and he has been online but is deflecting. Also, the fact that so many accusations here on Sythe have been made against him makes us doubt his credibility even more - hence, why we are very VERY worried. This thread is insanely long, I know, but I am hoping this shocks him into giving us our things. Two users with bad experiences with him within the past few days = suspicious enough. If he does come through within a day or two, this thread can be put on the back burner. I won't feel like a dummy for writing a novella about him, fear not, because I'd rather write all this out and be ready for the worst than be un-prepared. In fact, I PRAY that I am wrong because you have no idea how excited I was to get my items. Nor how excited my friend (yeah - we bonded over conversing about how Ryza is being shady ) was to get her UC pet. So trust me, I don't want to be proven right. We HOPE we are proven wrong and look like a bunch of dummies for jumping the gun, TRUST ME. However, his vouches seem fake, at least 9 users that I've counted (including us) have claimed he scammed them, and that in itself led me to believe the worst. I know people need "proof" to ban him, which is what I am hoping to supply here, assuming he leaves us hanging and doesn't go through with his end of the deal. The fact that so many people have accused him but didn't have "proof" makes me even more determined to nail this guy if he ends up being as shady as me and many other people think. This way, I will feel better for giving proof and a voice for all those others that posted in the threads negatively about him. When a dozen people cry wolf, then most likely, they see wolf. So thank you for taking the time to read this. Like I said, if he gives us our stuff and/or refunds us, then we will be happy campers and that is all we really want***

Also: Please see this thread:
http://sythe.org/showthread.php?t=1265573

This was made by the user who is now my friend, and she was trying to buy a UC (unconverted pet) from him. If you find the evidence in my thread to be insufficient, then check hers out. She posted that she would be more than happy to un-censor her screenies as well. Plus, she isn't dealing with items here but a pet, which is much more easier to prove. She can show a trusted mod the username in her PM to Ryza, where she specifically told him to send the pet to, and she can screenie her pet transfers page to show that there are no pending transfers OR a UC faerie wocky anywhere on her account. Thank you. It would also be unlikely for her to transfer her pet out on purpose, to accuse him of scamming, because just like with gift boxes (which aren't free and I'll explain the complications of dealing with those later), pet transfers are limited and require a certain age that your account has to be. In terms of sentimental value, these are also not good to use up or waste on tedious persuits such as accusing people of scamming. Why? Because people trade/transfer pets all the time for better pets and etc. However, your account has to be of a certain age and these are given out only as your account ages.

All in all, please read this and keep in mind that I am 100% trying to nail this guy simply because he took our money and no other reason. I am presenting physical proof, my word, and common sense here. So please keep all three of those in mind. He has thus far not admitted to doing anything wrong so I have nothing to share here which is incriminating (in terms of him lying to me, etc.) thus far. He is ignoring me and staying quiet because he just assumes that if he acts that I'm not there, I'll just go away. However, I will keep trying to get him to confess to something so that I can post that here.

I am reporting Ryza as a possible scammer at this point. Another user mailed me with the same problem - him taking the money and not responding despite being online and active frequently. With said user, it's been three days now but with me, it's only been about two. Nevertheless, this guy has ignored my mails as well as someone else's without giving us our products or the status of our products. So, here you go.

In the off chance that he's simply leading a busy life (not too busy to be on here, obviously), then that's cool. But, after talking to another user, reading the threads, etc., I seriously think that this guy assumes that since we are 'new' users, we are automatically stupid and won't have the proof to get him banned. That is not the case, however. Ryza mailed me about some NC (Neo cash items) that he'd like to trade for $40. As soon as I gave him my money, he dropped all contact with me which was sometime around 3 p.m. 10/28/11, and apparently stopped all contact for over 24 hours at the time (It has now been longer than that) with another new user despite being online many times within the past day. We have both contacted him frequently but have not recieved the status of our products.

For those of you who don't know, Neo Cash items are different from regular Neopoint items. They are NO TRADE only. Meaning, you need something called a gift box (these aren't free) in order to send them to other accounts. Such gift boxes come only with purchasing NeoCash cards and redeeming them. They are also soul bound and can't be re-gifted. I am lacking in gift boxes seeing as how I've only ever used paypal and they only come with actual card purchases. That being said, I do not have any. And if I did have them, they would show up in my inventory or SDB. Those are some of the main places to stick your items in on Neopets. I have taken screenies of my main account's inventory, SDB, closet, and wardrobe. (The NC items I wanted were all wearables) Also, ALL NC items on any account (even if you don't buy them with your own NC) get displayed in your NC mall album if you choose to have it visible. And this means ANY NC item currently on your account. I have had little experience with trading NC items but someone did gift me a NC background and it showed up in my personal NC mall album within seconds.

So, I screenied everything. Now here's where his side of the argument might come in if he doesn't give me my items eventually -- that the screenies are from a side account and that he gave me my items, yada yada yada. Well, here's the thing. I saved all the screenies with my username included AND excluded (for viewing purposes) and I can un-mark the username for a mod. Meaning, I will trust a mod enough to show all of the screenies of my Neopets account to (username on all of the pages included) and I can un-mark the username in the PM that I told him to send the items to -- the usernames WILL match up.

However, I'm not going to post my username here for all the world to see, so if a mod wants me to confirm this, I will.

Argument #2 that he could give: That I sent the NC items using GIFT BOXES, to my side, only to accuse him of scamming. The problem with this would be: you have to have gift boxes to do so. For me to transfer all the NC items from my main, to my side, and then back again, I'd need to get NC specifically on my side account JUST to be able to send it BACK to my main account. And seeing as how I was asking for a total of 13+ items from said user, I would need to have enough gift boxes (and once they are used up, they are used up forever) to send the items to my side and then back to my main account. Do you know how much mula that would cost me?

Taken from Neopets: "For every $5 you redeem, you'll get one Gift Box, so when you redeem a $10 you'll get two Gift Boxes. With a $15 card, you'll get three of them and a $25 card will give you 5 Gift Boxes"

Yeah... I'm totally going to go through all that trouble just to make this guy look like a scammer. :nuts:

If I had enough gift boxes to transfer 13+ (I forget if the morphing items come as one item or more) items to a side account and THEN back to my main (which I don't, as stated), that would have been a TOTAL waste seeing as how that would take 20+ gift boxes to do so. Do the math and see how much NC that would take to do. Plus, that would just be a total waste of gift boxes. Those gift boxes are valuable, expensive, and can be used to trade with other users for NC mall items on the regular Neopets boards. No one in their right mind would waste so many on such a senseless cause. Or waste so much money, for that matter.

The only other way I could have gotten the items out of my account would be to delete them permanently. There's no logic behind that whatsoever and I'm not even going to explain why or argue it.

Personally, seeing as how I don't buy the actual physical cash cards, I have never owned a gift box but users state that they automatically get deposited into your inventory with regular NC items. Obviously, if you look at my screenies, I have none in my inventory or anywhere else.

I also screenied my NC mall album. I blocked out the part that says "So and so's NC mall gallery" at the top of the album but like I said, mods, I can give you a screenie proving that it's mine and I can match that username up with the one I clearly told him to send the items to. I am just not willing to post my username for all of Sythe to see, is all.

Plus, the fact that my NC album pretty much matches 100% with what's already in my closet/wardrobe, based on the screenies I'm showing, that should be proof enough. I am posting this as /possible/ scam because there is always a chance that he may decide to give me and the other user our items/pet, but, seeing as how he was openly talking to me up until the time he recieved my cash, I find that highly suspicious. Plus, the other user who is claiming that he scammed her didn't hear back from him yet for over 24+ hours at the time she contacted me with her concern about him. He stopped speaking to her once he got her money, as well. He is obviously deflecting. And now more time has passed for us both and still nothing.

With the screenies of my inventory, SDB, NC album, etc., I have opened the clock and date toolbar on my task bar. This way, he can't say that he gave me my items already but hasn't. And if he does eventually tell me that he has given me my items but hasn't (he hasn't done so or even tried to convince me otherwise - he has simply stopped responding), then I will re-take the screenies and post the messages where he claims to give me my items, as well as post the new screenies of my closet/NC mall album/wardrobe/inventory/SDB with the new times (Date, time, AND I will even include the Neopian Central Time bar at the top of the pages). However, he has not contacted me since he has received my money so if he does claim to give me my items, but doesn't, I CAN prove it.

Note* Like I said, a trusted mod can request screenies where my username is clearly shown and listed (In my actual PM to him and in my actual Neopets account. Like I said, I can provide many screenies of this)

Now, on the proof: (linking for convenience so I don't cram the page with images)

That was the last message I ever got from him.

I can post this if needed.)

Payment sent.

Showing that I didn't get any more messages from him. I know I could have easily deleted any messages he sent me afterwards, if I were shady/lying in all of this, but, meh. Second screenie is partial and not my entire inbox - not because I am hiding anything but because me and a user started exchanging info, started having a personal chat, and we started saying some not-so-nice things about Ryza that can partially be seen in the text below the messages.

*If you are unsure of what the items that he was supposed to give me look like, you can do a search on Neopets itself or go to an off-site item database. None of the items pictured in my NC mall album match up to the items he promised. **Also, if a trusted mod wants to know my actual username so they can scope out the actual NC mall album itself, then I can provide that also. Just so no one claims that I have edited out anything. Although, the other user that he has been avoiding can vouch for this because she knows me now.

http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l550/serenitymoon17/Image14.png

(This one is for mods who don't know of the no-gifting option for NC items - this proves it wouldn't be easy to get rid of any NC item, much less 13+ of them.)

Note* Just so no one thinks I moved the items out of my SDB/inventory, stuck them somewhere else in my account, took the screenies, and then moved them back - this is why I made THIS screenie:

http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l550/serenitymoon17/screenie4.png

This basically shows all of the places where it's possible to 'hide' an item on Neopets up all at once in three different browsers. Plus, note the clock at the top and the bottom. (I made these screenies way later in the evening than my previous ones, so note the time difference - still no items then and still no items now).

Edit** I realized you can put NC items in your gallery (but not your shop), so here is a screenie showing my gallery - which is non-existent. I took this screenie after I took the screenie above of my closet/wardrobe/SDB/inventory, so you know I couldn't have been hiding anything in there.

http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l550/serenitymoon17/Image3-1.png

Basically, my gallery doesn't exist. Note*, I made this same screenie a few days ago and deleted it on accident and just remade it. Hence, why I now have the Halloween sidebar now but didn't in my previous screenies.

**Edit edit - Also:

http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l550/serenitymoon17/3.png

I totally forgot about this place - wanting to make sure everyone can see all my NC gallery items are marked for being on display.

The reason I am posting so many screenies AND times/dates included in each one via the clock is because, ultimately, four things may happen here:

1.) Ryza is going to say he sent me the items and I will offer compare/contrast screenies in defense with different dates/times showing that he has not (assuming he doesn't - if he does, then great. I'd appreciate it).
2.) He's going to deny the whole thing and make something bogus up or pretend that he doesn't know me, that I didn't pay, that I am making everything up, etc.
3.) He is never going to respond.
4.) He's going to give me my items.

In the event that #1 happens, I am coming well prepared. I am hoping for #4 but we shall see. Basically all options are going to get him banned except #4 so he better either give us our items or think of some genius way to out-smart everything I have posted in this thread. Or at least kindly respond to us and tell us the status of our products.

My closet is too full and cluttered with NC items to scroll down and screenie all at once so I screenied the part where some items should be (as seen here - http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l550/serenitymoon17/screenie4.png) The closet is the part with all the clothing icons. Note how it goes in alphabetical order. I bought:

Mythical Rain Shower
Wish On a Star Background
Light Shower Garland
Rosy Cheeks Face Paint
Icy Blue Eyes
Snow Queen Dress
Cherub Wings
Shining Princess Shoes
Shining Princess gloves
Pink Peony Fields background
Snow queen necklace
MME-8

If I was 'hiding' the items in there, some of the S and P items would have been in there along with the stuff already pictured. Even though, the NC mall album pictures WOULD have contained those items if I owned them whatsoever because all NC mall items automatically get placed there if you have it on display - regardless of whether you buy it yourself or whether it was gifted to you.

*Mods: Please read my above explanation in the earlier parts of my post pertaining as to why these screenies are so, so, SO important and how NC mall items are different, "soul bound", and can't be sent out without gift boxes.

Me sending these items out to a side account, sending them back to my main, and going through all that trouble simply to accuse this person of scamming would have cost me probably $200 plus in NC cards AND in valuable gift boxes that I would have loved to have used if I had - but I don't.

The only reason I came here for NC items WAS because I did not have gift boxes. I could have eventually found all the items I needed on the NC Mall forums if I waited long enough, but I had 13+ items on my NC wishlist, and in Neopets, the only legal way of trading a NC mall item is to trade another one for it (unless someone gifts you), and that too requires gift boxes which are a hassle for me. Having these NC items gifted to me directly seemed like a more convenient notion which is why I came here for this.

That being said, this is another good reason why the whole 'gifting myself 13+ items to a side and then gifting them back to my main 13+ times SIMPLY to accuse this guy of stealing' argument would make no sense if he were to bring that up. I only gave Ryza $40 and it would have been my loss to go through so much trouble, and waste so much, simply to be a heartless bitch and accuse him of something he didn't do.

If the argument comes up that the account I keep posting screenies of is not in fact my main, and that I am lying, then here's my argument to that: I already said that I'd be more than happy to un-censor my username in both my PMs and in my actual account screenies. Or better yet, just give a mod my username so they can see my NC album for themselves. I did not know that he was going to scam me, so logically, I OF COURSE gave him my main account's username. Why? Because then HE would be the one wasting 13+ gift boxes (which as I stated, are valuable, not cheap, and only come with cash cards) NOT me. It would make no sense for me to give him my side account seeing as how he'd be sending 13+ items to an account that I'm not even active on. Then, I'd have to re-gift myself. Ridiculous, right? Lets hope that if he is indeed a scammer, he has enough logic not to start such propaganda.

So all in all: He hasn't given me a single thing and is not responding to me or the user I previously mentioned. He was responding to both of us regularly up until he got our money. We have not heard from him since despite adding him on MSN, despite him being online and not responding to us, and despite personally emailing him on his email account.

Futher proof and misc:

http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l550/serenitymoon17/dfgdf.png

He haas been accused before but the accuser didn't have enough evidence. Such a shame, too.
Note: this is the same thing he did to the user I have been in contact with. Offered her a UC pet and hasn't responded. So apparently this user was on to something - it's not a one-time occurrence or accusation.

http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l550/serenitymoon17/screen123.png

From his vouches thread. Apparently he has been accused several times but no one proved it.

http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l550/serenitymoon17/also.png

And lastly, this is what the other user accusing him of scamming has sent me earlier.


Like I said, I am posting this as a possible scam. Normally, I would give him a day more without reporting him but seeing as how several people called scam on his vouches thread, and accusations have been made against him, I really have a feeling that I am right about this one.

Incriminating off-site screenies:
(These take a moment to read through, piece together, connect the dots, and note the similarities)

So this Ryza is banned and goes by the same alias but different emails. And he apparently does a lot of his scamming on these two websites via selling illicit code. Well, if you go through Ryza's posts on here, he DOES talk about coding some. And by some, I mean a lot.

Link to board: http://www.wjunction.com/5-general-discussion/86670-same-guy-who-scammed-me.html
Another board: http://www.wjunction.com/11-marketp...3-search-engine-fully-automated-bin-20$-2.htm
His banned page: http://www.wjunction.com/member.php?u=18972 (If you click on 'statistics' on that page, you will see that Ryza's posts/threads are still up) Note the similarities. I have never heard of WJ but I don't think it's a site like this for gaming stuff - I think it's mostly about coding/cracking/scripting/hacking from what I've seen. The Ryza on Sythe talks about code A LOT, although, the identical name is all you really need to make a logical assumption that it's him. How many Ryzas have been accused of scamming/talk about coding/etc.? Exactly. Plus, note that he is banned. Meaning he must have done a big no-no on that site as well. On the off-chance that it's a different 'Ryza' then my apologies. However, considering the fact that out of all of the possible name/alias choices out there, another Ryza interested in code/is a scammer used the same one...? I call bluff.

Apparently someone named "Ryza" has been accused of scamming on another site and has been banned from another place called WJ. Not sure why, but I am just saying that he has been. Could be the same Ryza. Not saying it is but it could be. Doesn't seem like that common of a name, considering it's within the same tight-knit community of buying/selling stuff online on the forums - even if it is mostly code/script/keys. MUCH of this stuff screams Sythe Ryza - go through his post histories and compare. Talking about scripts + codes + overall being shady + having the same name = not just a coincidence.

I know I am new but the user Mainco has recieved $50+ from me and I have never accused him of scamming - because he was gracious enough not to screw me over and he gave me my items. That being said, I have never accused anyone of scamming except the user wizpaper, who is now banned thanks to me. And he did steal $50 from me and I proved it.

ALSO, I really think this guy is using a proxy and is making fake vouches/accounts on here. Many of them, to say the least.

My reasoning:

It would take way too long to do this but I have been looking over Ryza's/Ryza's vouchers' profiles and there are some similarities that keep coming up.

1.)His account/vs. some of his vouchers' accounts deal with topics such as: keys, code, Steam, and Neopoints (which ironically seem to be some of Ryza's most talked about topics on here as well as WJ before he got banned from there - assuming it is the same Ryza) and virtually nothing else. If you go through his 'good vouches' and find the posts by those users and compare them to Ryza's posts, you will find similarities.
2.) Ryza vouched for a suspicious looking user. This said user had no vouches except for Ryza's and his post count was VERY small. The only posts this said user made were for a few other vouches and in a selling/buying Neopoints topic. (Like I said, one of Ryza's most talked about topics)
3.) Similar language, similar speak, similar interests, similar games played. (For example - minecraft, starcraft, code, scripts, etc. were mentioned a lot in his/some of his vouchers' posts but was limited to a small pool of interests. I didn't find that most of his vouchers seemed all that unique and different from himself. Although it is hard to tell online, people still have a definitive way of speaking, acting, and their interests (obviously) remain the same no matter what persona they take on at the time.

This is the part of my post that is not proof based, is pure speculation, and might not be legitimate evidence whatsoever; these are just some observations that I made after dissecting his posts/his vouchers' posts. There are definitely similarities/coincidences/overall fishiness going on there. I'm not saying I think ALL of his vouches are fake, seeing as someone can still have good transactions, while scamming others.

The fact that he has so many good vouches/vs. so many people accusing him of scamming (see screenies for examples), leads me to believe the following:

1.) His good vouches are fake and/or only some of them are legit.
2.) He slipped through the cracks by obtaining SOME legit vouches from ******** in the pond (A deeper look at his vouches shows that he does have a vouch from someone with an 800+ post count - that DOES seem legit) but leads you to wonder why the see-sawing of good vs. evil. You have some people claiming that he's a godsend and the best trader ever and yet, you have some people claiming he is the devil. Seems very unbalanced.
3.) Yet, despite these vouches, I have seen at least seven people claim he is a scammer.
4.) Lastly, he probably targets people that he assumes are too 'dumb' to report him substantially seeing as how he has been accused several times but no one presented sufficient enough evidence against him. That being said, he probably targets newbies because I, and another user that he scammed, are both new and are un-familiar with these threads/places. Perhaps he assumed he could get away with it by scamming a few newbies while still trying to maintain a decent reputation on Sythe. I do believe that he cares about his Sythe account because of how active he is, but, he has been accused of scamming by me, someone I know, and countless other people which leads me to think that he scams whoever appears to be naive enough not to report him properly.
5.) I think he goes through great lengths and uses proxies to post as someone looking to buy, and then logs back in on his main, posts on his own threads, and then leaves good vouches for himself by making it 'look' like he has had good transactions. The fact that so many of his vouches are full of BEAMING, positive comments, really says it all. A lot of the people who left vouches for him made sure to specifically state how speedy he was, how trusting he was, that he was the most trusted seller ever, and etc., really makes me question his credibility, especially considering the fact that he has had 1.) me accusing him, 2.) Another user accusing him 3.) People calling him a scammer (not just one person - SEVERAL people), all within a short period of time. A user with such godly reviews and good comments surely wouldn't have a bad track record like this. Plus, a lot of his vouches seemed very buttered up and sugar coated.

I did look at his vouches before buying and although there were some negative comments, a lot were good which fooled me into doing a deal with him. Also, since some of the uers who posted a negative vouch against him were banned, I assumed those were just trolls. There were some other negative comments towards the bottom of his vouch thread, as well, but I was reading another thread where a user accused him of scamming and then came back to say that he was just 'out at lunch' and did go through with their transaction afterall. This led me to believe that maybe some of the people accused him prematurely without giving him a chance to come clean and pay up. I have contacted him several times since the money was sent and I haven't heard a single peep since then. He even accepted me on MSN, came online, and went offline just as I was about to say hello. He just ignores me and my attempts to contact him, which, I am totally okay with because it just makes me 99.9999% more sure that he in infact a scammer. Considering the fact that I have threatened to report him several times already, and that he doesn't seem to be too eager to stand up and defend his honor, I pretty much have no doubt in my mind. You'd think that a reputable user that actually cares about their account would jump at the opportunity to deny being called a scammer - but no. He probably doesn't expect a 'newbie' like me to put together a thread like this against him, so he probably thinks he's getting off easy and that ignoring me will just make me go away; WRONG!

Another note**
If, by the time I post this, a mod does contact me about my username details and he DOES give me my items out of fear of being banned, and they do show up in my NC mall gallery, then I will gladly stop accusing and I will inform the mods that he did indeed come through at the end. I'm saying this because even though I am almost certain that he is scamming me here, I don't know what he's going to do once I threaten him or draw attention to him negatively -- and I don't want to look like I'm still accusing him if he does give me what I asked for. Because I'm not about to do that.

Personal note to Ryza: If the mods read my post and find you guilty and ban you, I highly suggest that you request a high pardon and pay up, seeing as you DO seem to care about your account, based on your posts. Just a friendly suggestion. If not, then so be it. I do hope that you at least pay for scamming me, all those other people, and doing God knows what else on here. Like I said, just a friendly suggestion.

*********************************THE ICING ON THE CAKE, PEOPLE*********************************

Okay so, Ryza has dropped off the face of the earth for me and for my friend. I have emailed him, messaged him on here, literally BEGGED him for a status on my items - nothing. Nothing nothing nothing. So, I figured that he wouldn't reply to "Serenity" seeing as how he conveniently dropped off the face of the earth for several days now. For my friend, it's been two days now - NO reply from him on here, no email, nothing.

Okay now, I understand that this is VERY crude of me to do, but it had to be done. Guys, I made a 'fake' n00bish looking e-mail account and sent him THE stupidest email I have ever sent in my life.

Just MINUTES after my n00bish persona "Jenny Lee" emailed him, he suddenly could talk again! Well, imagine that! (NOTE: these are FAKE. Fake persona, fake emails, fake everything. This is just me toying with him.)

What a speedy reply! LOOK EVERYONE, HE CAN TALK! AND IT ONLY TOOK HIM A WHOLE TWO MINUTES TO DO IT! And to think, I have been trying to reach him for DAYS now and my friend has been trying to for much longer, as well. Nothing. Apparently, the only way you're not invisible to him is if you give him or offer him more money - KNEW he couldn't resist.

Here comes the funniest part: When I told him "payment sent" as Serenity (on here - and legitimately payed him - see paypal records), he stopped responding and was no longer interested. Like I said, you're only not invisible to him if you offer him more cash. Once he has your money, he no longer cares.

But watch how defensive he got when NOT given his money, here:

Note: I didn't even KNOW he had UC pets for sale (assuming he has any - I think he's been lying about having ANYTHING all along).

I just made a fake email, started offering him bogus amounts of cash for pets I didn't even KNOW he had, and he jumped at the opportunity. Knew the $200 would lure him in. I, of course, did not pay him and this was an 'acting job'. Please, no one assume otherwise. Love the fact that he hasn't responded to either me or my friend within days, or given us our stuff, but it took him less than 5 minutes to respond to my n00b mail. That's the BEST.

Edit* 10/31/2011 Same email on MSN as listed on his Sythe profile - in case he edits out. I wish I had proof where he contacted me and told me he sent me my items so I could disprove him more easily -

But as of yet, he has just dropped off the face of the earth for me. If he were to say he gave me my items, I'd just re-take screenies again, gather up a counter defense, and all that, but he hasn't.



And I think we are done here. Goodbye, Ryza. I won't miss you.

10/30/2011 3:38 a.m. edit* - still no items, still ignoring "me"

10/30/2011 4:11 p.m. edit** - Ryza logged onto MSN while I was online (as myself, not the n00b I was pretending to be earlier while talking him) and he, of course, has not messaged me, emailed me, or acknowledged my existence. Just a note.

Just so everyone knows there's been no progress.

Edit edit edit**** 10/30/2011 5:02 p.m.

A kind user just mailed me and confirmed that they, too, have been scammed out of $100 by Ryza.

Screenies, as usual. Adding this to my huge pile of dirt against this scum bag:

EDIT EDIT EDIT 11/02/2011***

http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l550/serenitymoon17/111111.png

Nothing from him in my inbox, emails, or anywhere.

http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l550/serenitymoon17/2222222222222222.png

He is online as we speak, but ignoring me and the other users he owes money (You can ask them)

And most importantly, STILL no items. Updated screenies of my main account -- the account I asked him to send the items to. I can un-mark the usernames, as I mentioned a billion times now.

(forgot the clock on some but all were made around 10-30 minutes ago at 6-7 a.m.-ish this morning)

Like I said, all of these account screenies match up to the account I kindly asked him to send the items to - nothing. Sorry if I repeated any of them or jumbled them together in a way is hard to figure out. All they are showing is basically this: nothing I payed for is in there.

The list of items I payed for is mentioned earlier in this post. If mods really want me to provide pictures of what the items look like, I can do that too. None of these are on my account.

 

Still hasn't contacted "me" or my friend or given us our items. But he WILL contact if he thinks you're a stupid retard who's about to give him a giant wad of cash - as seen in the bottom half of my first post.

If at all possible, I'd HIGHLY suggest (if possible) that his IP get checked to some other scammers'/his (assumingly) fake vouchers' IPs. My two cents. Really hope the mods get on this soon.

 

Daily bump.

Ryza has been online here on Sythe for the first time in two days (I think because I linked him this thread and told him to stop hiding and read it and weep) but he, of course, is still not admitting to anything, refunding me, or giving me what I payed for.

 

Daily bump since I dropped to the second page and still no replies. I know he only took $40 from me but I've heard of this guy doing much worse so mods, please, just read this whenever you're not busy. Not being pushy or rude or anything - I'm just worried he's out there on the prowl and taking other people's money.

 

Getting to this book soon

 

Thanks! Yes, please do and feel free to ask for all my account screenies/details, further proof, more paypal statements, etc. Ryza still hasn't contacted me and he is online as we speak, browsing the buying/selling forums. Really hope this gets checked ASAP because I don't want him to be out there, taking any more money. Thanks!

 

Daily bump. Really hope this guy gets hammered. He is majorly getting on my nerves by ignoring every last bit of mail that I send to him. Perhaps he can ignore me, but it would be suspicious if he ignores a mod if they try to contact him? And if he lies to a mod and makes something up like "I gave her the items", I can try to provide proof that it didn't happen and so can my friend. He logs on EVERY DAY but ignores me and it is majorly peeving me off because I KNOW he stole $40 from me and my friend and he can try to avoid me but I'd really like to see a mod try to contact him and ask him what the heck is up with him giving the silent treatment - I mean, OBVIOUSLY he's staying silent because he knows he did a big no-no by stealing from us so what can he say about it? It just irks me that he logs on every day and is possibly scamming other people but isn't even responding to me or giving me anything to go on.
