XLINE is a scammer. Pretty sure I am not getting my coins at this point. I was stupid; hopefully this will prevent someone else from falling for his/her scam.
-
I think you are right.
I can't believe I made the same mistake.
S/He has 100% from 31 transactions and has been a member for nearly a month.
Some of the seller reviews state how the MoneyPak transfer was successful so I thought I could trust him.
I did my research but I guess it wasn't good enough.
Man, I hope I didn't get fucked.

yeah it seemed legit to me too. I was getting responses fairly quickly & now I am not getting a response at all. I would give benefit of the doubt & say maybe something came up but they have updated the listing saying they are checking every 30mins as of today so I know they have seen the messages. There is no way to stop this person either right? get SR to close their account? It is still processing so I won't even be able to leave negative feedback.
let me know if your transaction ever goes through. I will update too.
-
I gave her $200 which is definitely a large amount for me unfortunately :( I guess I won't be using SR for a while. It's such a shame because this person could have legitimately made money this way (albeit slowly) if they had built up a good reputation. I mean they had to have at least been working at this for a few weeks to build up a small reputation, why not just be legit?
I just wrote to SR Support also so hopefully that will help get rid of this person's account. Any bit of a refund would really help me out but it would be better if we could get this message out there so no one else is scammed too. what a shame :(
and yes I also feel like a dumbass right now too. was too impatient to wait for someone I had previously bought from to get more btc. I'm just trying to buy some things I am unable to get since I have no insurance right now. Yeah I'd love to buy some fun things but really I need to be able to function.
ok sorry for the sob story... i hope you are in a better place.
I will let you know if I hear back from support.
-
No, I hear ya. I buy meds on the Road too for real legitimate reasons.
And IMPATIENCE is what got the best of me too.
That is the biggest lesson we can receive from this fraudulent act.
No matter how fast you need coin to purchase that drug before it is sold out, never jeopardize your hard earned money with an untrusted vendor.
This all came down to IMPATIENCE. Never again. I learned my lesson.
For the future it is Sugar Mama, BTCpal, and RapidExchange.
-
yeah I almost went with RapidExchange but xline's rate was a bit better & I wanted to get the most for my money. Guess I have learned my lesson too.

went to check the balance of the card through paypal...obviously it is gone. emailed moneypak & they said the money is in MY paypal account. they gave a number to call if I want to complain about it some more but I'm assuming this will just be bad news for me right? If I say I gave the number to someone to make a purchase then I'm sure they will say im SOL. Plus then I am giving out personal information & although I haven't done anything illegal I have done something stupid. don't really want to lie to them because I'm not a shithead person like xline but I really need this money. what do you think?
they keep updating the listing with the current date saying they are checking every 1/2 hour. i hope someone else notices there are no reviews on that actual listing though.
-
Ya. There is no way to get the money back from MoneyPak.
As for the listing still being up, I have had several reputable vendors message SR Support. However, due to the volume of complaints it takes a while.
Hopefully no one else gets scammed in the meantime.
However, I doubt anyone will. I searched this forum before making the transfer and no hits came up.
Now when some searches before they place the order they will see that Xline is a scammer.
Chalk it up as a loss. I did. It was a big hit but good things will happen to you soon. Just keep smiling and try to be happy.
Scammers like Xline get off on his victims being angry, upset and having no way to get justice.
Only let Xline have the satisfaction of stealing your money, not also ruining your week/month.
Xline is a vampire who feeds off of negative energy. I hope Abe Lincoln takes care of this son of a bitch.
-
thanks man, I appreciate your positivity. I hope good things happen for you as well.
-
ohhhh yea this sucks. I just sent him a moneypak for $300 and i'm getting no response....
Damn I should have looked here first! ... well good bye $300...
-
everyone plese file a complaint and get this douche bag off SR.
-
i filed a complaint & so has Brave New World...days ago even. this douchebag just keeps getting away with it. i am wondering if there is a way to find this person's information since I have the paypal account number to which this dbag deposited the money

keep us updated. I have a few tricks up my sleeve.
Lets just say I work with a company that has very good relations with paypal. I'm goign to see if I can get an inside scoop. =)
he's goign to recieve a somewhat scary message from me.

if you go into paypal and try to deposit the moneypak it will tell you that you cant but then it says "if you have any questions click here" which sends you to a form. then they email you the transaction history with the confirmation number for the transaction. not sure if you can do anything with this. they also give you a number to call but i figure i cant really do anything about it since i gave them the mp number. def keep us updated if you are able to do anything.
