Gaffarro Pardon

[Omniously]

• Your profile link: http://www.sythe.org/members/gaffarro.362711/
• All of your Sythe Accounts: The one above and this current one Omniously (I made this account as I later returned to the forums as a consumer to acquire services, buy gold, or receive PM verifications on Sythe
• Report/post/reason that got you banned: https://www.sythe.org/threads/1513708/scammed-by-gaffarro/
• Proof of contacting victims for repayment or repayment of victims: I didn't have a chance at responding to the report before I got banned 7 years ago but the user also ended up finding and calling my phone number directly where I ended up refunding him but I wanted him to remove my information first. This came to the initial standing between us as my parents (I was 13 years old at the time) were persistent on him removing all the information first before receiving a refund as he immediately accused me of scamming and went on to make that post. So essentially my family and I were reluctant on refunding until he did that first but then as that matter went on I had been banned, where then I ended up refunding as I had no way to make a post and he made a promise to remove it on the phone which he never did
• Anything you weren't banned for but want to confess to now: No, I had a few trades that went well before I got faulty codes and trades went south. I never came back on the forums because my parents cautioned me as all my information was released online and they kept calling my parents/house/my cell harassing me with threats, etc.
• Detailed description of the events that took place and why you think we should forgive you: During then I tried to buy and resell CD codes so that I can buy gold on D3 to fund my account, I had a few trades go good, and unfortunately with buying and selling from various people I got some codes that were not so good that I sold to customers without knowing. Back then I was in elementary school I really didn't know how to handle and talk to people online, and was never really an "active" marketplace person so I didn't know how to handle someone actively accusing me as a scammer while posting my information and finding everything about me (essentially a DOX) I was quite scared at the time on what to do as I also had paid for a code upfront and was figuring how I would refund - I also tried to tell them to contact Blizzard as I didn't know how to help but this quickly escalated into something more severe when my personal information started to leak
• Did you fully read and follow this sticky thread in the pardon section?: Yes
• Previous pardon link(s) if applicable: None this is my first post.

 

Hello @Gaffarro,

Are you able to provide any proof of refunding either user that reported you?

There is also a fair few other scam accusations on your original selling thread where other users claim you scammed them, could you shed some light on this as well?

I do not have proof of issuing out refunds as I closed my old PayPal account several years ago. I am however prepared to pay out again as this would be able to accommodate everyone from the thread as well as I was not able to respond in time before getting banned. Those accusations came around the same time as I had been buying and reselling faulty codes at the time, previous ones were from a better supplier. At the time I was very new to trading and the marketplace (around 13-14 yrs) and did not know what I should have done as I had paid for the codes upfront as well. I only was able to refund one person as they kept calling me as they found my phone number. However since I do not have proof of this now from 7 years ago, I am willing to repay back. I have tried to contact the users but I have noticed on each of their profiles they have not been active for years and their last activity was actually on that scam thread. I can repay back to the community reserve.

Appreciate your help.
