POuet scammed meHello all,
POuet scammed me and openly admitted to doing so as a way to get back money that they were scammed out of. Below is background information and my proof.
Link to scammer's Sythe profile: POuet's profile
Briefly explain the trade:
I have been seeking Neopets UCs to buy on Sythe. On 03/08 I posted this thread thread. On the same day (at 4:38pm), the user POuet pmed me on Sythe asking if I wanted to buy a VVWN'd UC Aisha. This fit the criterion I was looking for, so I proceeded to arrange a price via Paypal.
I made sure that POuet knew that if I was scammed, I would open a dispute in Paypal and get my money back. After I sent the money, POuet logged off. I messaged the user, reminding him of our deal, and informing him that if I didn't receive the pet in 24 hours, I would file a dispute.
POuet messaged me on 03/09 in response and said : "Oh thats okY the paypal account isnt even mine and is now deleted". Additionally, they justified their actions with the statement "Well i got scammed for selling what inwas trying tonsell you. And im not even on neopets anymore. A way to lose a bit less Have a nice day!"
How they scammed: As mentioned above, they took my $53 in Paypal without delivering the pet to the account I specified. This was NOT a gift transaction, this was a purchase of goods.
Proof that you were not talking to an impostor:
I have screenshots of the entire conversation below, but short of that I don't know how to prove authenticity. If an admin contacted me, I could give them access to my account to see that the messages are real, and that the screenshots aren't edited.
Trade screenshots: Proof is in this album.
My apologies if I'm missing any info, or the screenshots are bad. If theres any way I can make things better/verify this more completely, please let me know.
