PlanetsGold | The Sun | Scammer

Scam report against: http://www.sythe.org/members/458442-the-sun.html

I basically was looking for a Paypal processor: http://www.sythe.org/job-listings-u...t-processor-you-have-trusted-200-donator.html

The Sun aka (Planetsgold) ended up contacting me and requested to be my paypal payment processor. Furtherly he proposed of making a website, which I agreed to.

The deal: He bought the domain & hosting and set it up and I would pay for it. Therefore, am I the owner of the website < I even confirmed with him on this part.

Spoiler: Owner Picture

In addition, he would get a split out of the Paypal sales since he is handling payments and he would pay me weekly in BTC. I would pay him back by the sales. (I do not profit anything from the Paypal sales until he is paid for the site costs)

Few days later, I spoke to my in real life friends and they proposed of taking The Sun's place. Without a doubt I chose them as I knew them and they would take 10% in comparison to The Sun's 39%. By then, the debt was already paid and above that $10 extra ($6 are mine). Therefore, I wrote to him on Skype and basically said that I'm replacing him. Of course he got upset, he changed wordpress admin page and claimed he had an "API" on the website RuniqueGP.com. I easily googled everything used on the website and it was just free plugins and wordpress. Further on, he said "And i dont understand after i showed u how to rwt". I have been in this business for a while and he thinks he taught me something (Of course I laughed at his face. Pure bullshit). At this moment I was speaking to the moderator @video and he agreed with me that he had no right to delete my admin login. In the end The Sun gave me my login.

Spoiler: API Lie

The issue:

I continued as normal and yesterday 3-15-2016, I got automatically logged out, I could not log back in and directly assumed that it must either be The Sun or his designer messing with me. I wrote to The Sun asking for the site FTP details and he said he had no clue what that is. It all ended by him sending me contact information to his designer and then he gave me the information I required.

Further on, I asked the designer how much he was paid to fix my website. Although "Design" was in the package, it was shit.

Spoiler: Site Costs

Found out that this designer has previously been partnered with Planetsgold: http://www.sythe.org/15342493-post101.html

Spoiler: Designer info

He is turkish, I had to use google translate and explain him the situation. He confirmed that he was paid $10 and not $30.

Spoiler: Designer confessing

Conclusion: The site host is the $10/month one on Hostgator, Domain cost was $12/year and Designer $10. Planetsgold claimed the total cost to be $55 which it was not! He acted stupid, for instance not knowing any site details and so on. However, he just attempted to get me annoyed and leave him alone.

He basically earned money from me as 20B gold was sold. $4.94/B 18B went to the stated costs and 2B extra. He also received the domain for free. This is definitely a scam.

If you want any further information, please add my skype and talk. I will give our chat in HTML to moderators so they can confirm everything.


EDIT:

The web designer just made a thread showing that Mehmet actually sent him $10.

Spoiler: Proof

 

i don't see proof of a scam here. if you want to condense this and explain -- succinctly -- how you got scammed, then feel free to do so in a new thread

 

The Sun said "I have paid the designer $30" when he only paid the designer $10. In addition, there is a $12 domain fee for a domain that The Sun is unable to transfer to Truhbul. It is in the sun's ownership, Truhbul should not have to pay for a domain he doesn't own. $1 is subtracted since truhbul used the domain for a month.

Much of this could have been avoided if The Sun had chosen different wording, it's very unfortunate he chose to explicitly state he had paid his designer $30 and only paid him $10. It is perfectly reasonable in business to profit off of your services, what is unreasonable is to profit off of your services by lying to your customers. I have spoken to the sun about this and moving forward he has agreed to be transparent about these costs. OP has been refunded $31 and this is now closed
