Imposters Scammed Me

[GhostTheLegion]

Scammer's profile link: BallersArthur
Explanation of the trade: I gave them 20m OSRS for $0.90/m PayPal
How they scammed: After the trade, he disconnected me from the chat and closed the site.

Unfortunately I did not make screenshots, I've used their services in the past and sold large amounts. But suddenly they decided to stop being a legitimate service.

Here's an web archive of the site: https://web.archive.org/web/20180106002016/http://www.ballersgold.com/

 

Do you have any other pictures? The current ones do not really prove anything other than the site being down.

Where did you get in contact with @BallersArthur ?

 

Yesterday I was asked by someone to middleman his 1b 07GP trade with one of those people. Once he linked me their thread (staff click) I realised it was one of the imposter websites. For some reason they thought I was as braindead as they are when they agreed to use me as a middleman so I quickly banned them and I didn't even start a trade with them. I'm fairly sure you went to BALLERGOLD.COM instead of BALLERSGOLD.COM which indeed has quit doing business for quite a while now. Takes an extra kind of stupid to imposter them, but especially fall for it.

Here's a picture of the thread I think you fell for:

Hello everyone, i'm not working in Ballersgold and it is already a closed business. I guess it was a fake website. Sorry but it was your own fail to fall into their scam..

Hey,

Yeah you're right. Apparantly I went to **************... Already found it a bit weird why Ballers would scam for such a small amount in comparison to their reputation. I searched on Google for Ballersgold and they came on top, that's how I got scammed.

For others,

DO NOT GO TO ************** IT'S A SCAM WEBSITE.

Sorry for the accusation btw, the guy I chatted with on that site was also named Arthur.

 

Thank you for the correction and I'm very sorry for your loss. Next time make sure you're one the right website URL.
