reporting a potential scam

[myrsgpshop]

i been selling to a customer called '' yes head '' known elite rank hoster some runescape 07 gold.
wich he used 2 sell on a dutch market place called ''marktplaats.nl'' for a better rate.

after 2 months i get a call of my bank with a random phone number wich i didnt pickup since it was unknown, after that they sended me a letter asking what my relation was with yes head and why i receive money from him from a dutch payment service 'ABN AMRO TIKKIE' with weird descriptions.

Ive email my bank back with the info they needed from me and no responce from my bank for 1 month.
and out of nowhere they blocked my bank account and sended me a email that they needed 2 talk with me by phone , i waited 5 days for a phone call with a blocked bank account.

that day the bank calls me asking me why yes head was sending me money , because i had 23 transactions with him , and people waiting for goods to be delivered and received nothing , yes head said he was partnering with you and you should deliver the goods but never happend.

someone was using his name and bankaccount for fraude/scamming on the dutch marketplace and he delivered the scammer 07 gold.

Hello @myrsgpshop,

Could you please update your report with the proper template found here: How to Report a Scammer - Report Templates.

You'll also need to provide proof that the payments came from this user, as well as proof that these payments are causing bank issues.

For the required proof you can either post it in a deleted post (post and then delete the post using the button in the top right) or send it to me on Discord.

A reaction to the story from n77

First to make this story more clear.

Person A is the scammer
Person B is a random person who bought items from the scammer
I sold gold on “marktplaats” there was a buyer (person A) who wanted to buy some gold from me. He asked my bank account details. So i received the money on my bank account and person A got his money in game. I can show every prove that i always delivered the money (can screenshare the phone conversation to a mod, also can provide a transcript). After the first trade he (person A) asked me if he can buy gold for few friends of his, I accepted, and he transferred the money to my bank account, and he would pick it up. For me it was no problem as I’m reselling the sold, i received the money on my bank account. Then he will get his gold. I sold gold to Person A like 7-8 times. Every time i received money, and person A received money in game. But I got a little bit suspicious, so I asked him if he could give me a photo or a confirm that the “friend “of person A really receives the money. He never asked me anything again and I never received a message after that. So that was weird. But then I found out my bank account got blocked, I had no clue what happened so I called my bank. Then they said I was an internet scammer and that there are a few reports going on against me. What did just happen: Person A upsold items on “marktplaats” Person B wanted to buy items from person A. Person A sent person B my bank account and Person A collected the 07 gold.
The misunderstanding occurred I received money from person B but person A collected the gold without delivering the gold to person B. Person A is the real scammer. So when i found this out, I went to the police and to my bank. I made a few reports about this and they searched till they found out what happened. They asked a lot who people were who payed me or who i payed. (n77 was someone who i payed a few times ) but only said I bought sometimes credits from n77. The police and the bank found out I was not guilty and they released my bank account(Can provide all the proofs privately to a Dutch mod as it contains my personal details and all correspondents are in dutch). They told me that i am forbidden from selling any “in game credits” again otherwise they would block my bank again. It is sort of illegal to sell online items here in holland, due to tax purposes according to them. A few weeks went by and then n77 received a message from the bank that they want to know a few things. They kept searching as to who was the scammer in this story. In the time i was doing business with the scammer, i had a few transactions with n77. So the bank was suspicious about it and thought that I sent the scammed money to a other bank account (n77 account). That’s the whole story from my end. The bank ordered me to refund Person B money. Again, can provide proof of all bank transactions privately. I refunded over 500$. Person A walked with all the gold. I fixed everything. The police found out i was NOT GUILTY and released every report against me (Can provide letters privately again). I’m sorry that n77 got caught up in this issue, I feel bad and I hope that everything will be sorted. I really like n77, he has been a good friend to me since I came to ER. I would never do these things to get him a suspect. Since this happens i feel like he hates me because he thinks i told the bank he was the scammer ( and that’s completely not true ).

Just as I told @myrsgpshop above you will need to substantiate your claims with the proper proof.

For the required proof you can either post it in a deleted post (post and then delete the post using the button in the top right) or send it to me on Discord.
