Complaint 338339 Details

This was a part of academic research. We had reasons to believe that individuals on this sites were all scammers collaborating behind the scene to swindle money out of visitors. Technically, the "victims" of these sites are also committing a crime by soliciting a service rendered by "verified sellers" on this website who promises to transfer a large amount of money at a fraction of the cost. In other words, you only pay approximately 10% of the amount that was "promised to transfer". For example, if you want $3,000 transferred to your bank account in a matter of hours, you simply pay $300 to these verified sellers. If the promise of service were true then a buyer will walk away with 90% profit.

Common sense will immediately warn any reasonable individuals to walk away from such a suspicious propositions (there are several obvious reasons to trust your right judgment). But this website is designed in a somewhat convincing manner with over hundreds of positive reviews posted under each sellers' posting making any naive visitors to truly believe "what is too good to be true" may in fact be true. No negative feedback are to be found, no complaints either. Why? Because the sellers are either administrators of the website or they are colluding among one another. So the negative feedback never make it on the forum or get posted.

With a full expectation that making a deal with one of these sellers will almost result in a loss, we engaged one of the highly ranked seller - Rizla_Live. Aforementioned research required some evidence to prove all claims being made here are in fact true. So unbeknownst to the targeted seller, we pre-arranged the deal and already had a chat dialogue pre-scripted to extract necessary information. In addition, we made an arrangement with one of the moneybookers that these sellers require for payment - we forewarned the moneybookers to keep an eye out when the subject picks up the marked bills.

As suspected, Rizla_Live (other alias include George Lucas, also operating in the same website) was quite excited during the initial part of the conversation. We kept him on a hook and convince him to think positive so the deal will go through. After money had been picked up, and he did so very promptly in Pakistan, the subject went completely silent. To give him all the benefit of the doubt, we intentionally waited much longer than the promised deadline. But after all the evidence collected, we had enough to confidently state that the website and this Rizla_Live is a scammer. Please keep in mind that this website is not the only scam website - pretty much all other "carding forums" that offer such a lucrative fund transfer services are mostly likely scams as well - we haven't tested all of them due to the sheer number of these services available online. Similar websites also operate in a similar manner and reflects a similar format with sales banners plastered all over the website and the contents of the service sales posting, including pricing, almost identical across different forums despite the fact that all these forums are competitors to one another with each website's dedicated complaints page only mentioning sellers from the OTHER competitor sites but NEVER on one of their own.
