Mods feel free to warp this to appropriate section. I only do trades in AO section so forgive me... Got this unsolicited PM from arambo:

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: arambo</div><div class="ubbcode-body">for a safe trade for both sides use http://gametrade1.com

How does trading on Gametrade1 work?

After someone posts a listing on Gametrade1 using our robust listing system, the listing is reviewed by others users. If someone is interested in doing business with you (either trading, or buying) they make an offer. At that point, if the listing is a trade, the person interested in the listing sends all their account information to Gametrade1 where it is verified, changed, and held. The person who posted the original listing is then notified, and prompted to send their account information to Gametrade1 where it is verified and changed. Once both users’ accounts have been verified and changed, the information is swapped and each user receives his new account(s).

On the other hand, if the listing was a sale, then when someone is interested in doing business with you they make a payment to Gametrade1. At that point, the person who posted the original listing is then notified, and prompted to send their account information to Gametrade1 where it is verified and changed. <span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-weight: bold">Once Gametrade1 has all the account information, as well as payment</span></span> , the money is transferred to the person who posted the original listing and the account information is sent to the buyer. However, if for some reason the person who posted the original listing fails to send the account information to Gametrade1 when prompted, then the buyer’s money will be instantly refunded.

I did NOT visit a site like this without doing research first hand. Google returns nothing on them. New untrusted middleman site. I would advise anyone to stay away til this user has done sufficient trades on MD to make him/her trustworthy. Badly chosen website name can be new legit site or phishing sites. Be warned.
 
I got the exact same message.. concept seems good, eliminates paypal scams. But, I wouldn't exactly trust them with my account info.. or my credit card info for the money transfer for that matter..how else will they get my money to me?..paypal? :P
 
yes gametrade1 uses paypal .
what they do is.
the buyer transfer the money using paypal to gametrade1.com
and the seller transfer the account info to gametrade1.com

gametrade1.com validates the info and send the account info to the buyer and money to the seller and thus eliminating any chance of scamming.

i know the website is new...but every thing must have a start...

i think after 1 or 2 trades that markeedragon users make using gametrade1.com, people here will find out the this is the only real solution to the huge problem that every one here in markeedragon has when selling a game or buying one.
 
after being spammed 5 times by arambo, i've put him on my ignore list. sent the spam message to MD support.

sorry to say i wont be using the "service" he's offering. i have never had to use a middle man in any trade on MD and i will not start now. i use a clear set of rules that i explain to any new customer and if they feel uncomfortable with my rules, we both walk away and no one loose. giving away account info and money to the person runing gametrad1 will only lead to 1 conclusion, this is only my opinion but BE CAREFULL.
 
got the same thing, rather dodgy just deleted it, and who needs a middle men.. with feedback and rep we currently hold/have.
 
i think if the games that are sold here cost hundreds of $ people would really invest in websites and make them to scam people ... but that not the case there is some games that cost 10$ and i don't think there is someone in the world who will make a website only to scam someone for 10$.

before you all speak about gametrade1.com give it a try one of all the members on markeedragon .... and after that you can all speak ....

gametrade1.com knows that there is a problem when using the internet and it came to solve it ...thats it

you all need to go and take a look at the scam section here in markedragon... and than understand why we all need gametrade1.com
 
Arambo,

Do a little research in-game the game called Enttropia Universe.

In 2004, an in-game character named "Envoy Excel" scammed the absolute best items in the game by exploiting a website that appeared to be a computer shop. I don't understand it all completely; but it definitely happened.

And you know what's worse? That game uses a real world economy (USD can go straight in, and can come straight back out)

So please, go scam elsewhere.

Ironiks says it best; with feedback thread & reps who needs a middleman?
 
Alright and to add to the top of the pile:

This is an extremely low-budget godaddy.com domain name. I have bought these domains in the past on sale for little as $4.99 USD.

DO NOT TRUST gametrade1.com or Arambo of MD.

Please, don't forget to note the @GMAIL.COM email addresses.

richard 2:32:09 PM

Hello J Kinney, my name is richard, how may I help you?

J Kinney 2:32:57 PM

Hi. Mind telling me why you guys are hosting some kind of scam here?


By saying you guys; I mean why are you grees artoul?




richard 2:33:32 PM

no its not a sca


m




this is a new website

J Kinney 2:34:17 PM

Oh but it is. You are typing a little nervously seems like

richard 2:33:50 PM

this why everyone think its a scam


where here?




J Kinney 2:34:48 PM

In a proper support session you should be using capitalized words, etc.

richard 2:34:49 PM

hhhh this is one you have someone pro speaking with you


but i am grees artoul




J Kinney 2:35:50 PM

Yes I figured so

richard 2:35:28 PM

i make websites and try to build them to a bussnes

J Kinney 2:36:28 PM

You were advertising on Markee Dragon as if you are simply building up this web site for them. You tried to make it seem as if you weren't affiliated.


But indeed you are affiliated; you run the entire site.




The post where you mention: "don't know why somebody would steal a $10 game"

richard 2:36:47 PM

no its not me who advirtise on markeedragon its someone who works with me

J Kinney 2:37:20 PM

There is every reason in the world to steal a $10 game. The person that steals it is just $10 richer.

richard 2:37:17 PM

yes but it costs to get the domain 10$ and to make the website more than 2 weeks

J Kinney 2:37:47 PM

No, it's definitely you. IP address confirms the locations down to pinpoint accuracy

richard 2:37:31 PM

do you think i would work that much to scam someone for 10$

J Kinney 2:38:07 PM

I'm in the internet fraudulent division at the Hamilton County Courthouse of Noblesville, Indiana

richard 2:37:47 PM

no its not me its someone i work with

J Kinney 2:38:14 PM

I have seen about everything there is to see


Is that so?




I'm showing otherwise

richard 2:38:16 PM

i think you are wrong


can you show me the ip that my frind is using ?




J Kinney 2:39:03 PM

And you're using the live chat that automates your name to "Richard" instead of your real name as well. That's a little fishy, don't you think?


It will just appear the same as your own.




richard 2:38:50 PM

no its not

J Kinney 2:39:33 PM

Just listen

richard 2:39:05 PM

my brother is richard

J Kinney 2:39:42 PM

You are playing a dangerous game here

richard 2:39:20 PM

no i am not

J Kinney 2:40:00 PM

Your IP address, contact information, and address, is all on the Markee Dragon forum now

richard 2:39:55 PM

so what


i dont get it




?


when i scam someone than come to make and start speaking like this




J Kinney 2:40:41 PM

You're not being very honest with me

richard 2:40:18 PM

why


i told you all the trouth




J Kinney 2:41:11 PM

I'm a professional at what I do, and I know a scam when I see one

richard 2:40:45 PM

i run the website 12 hours and my brother 12 hours


and we have one worker who works on the ads




lol

J Kinney 2:41:33 PM

I can't do anything to you. You're not in my jurisdiction and you haven't performed a true scam that I have seen yet

richard 2:41:23 PM

yes this is what i say also

J Kinney 2:41:58 PM

But I know it will happen. And so long as this website remains on the internet, I will remain advising people against going to it.

richard 2:41:32 PM

if you are a pro please tell me this

J Kinney 2:42:22 PM

I don't reveal things, so don't try.

richard 2:41:58 PM

would you invest 2 weeks of your life to scam soneone for 10 or 100$ ?


i am an honest man who is tring to make his way in life




J Kinney 2:43:12 PM

I wouldn't, no. I don't need to. Would somebody from a country that is in as much hurt as some of the other countries out there be so willing to gain pure profits of $10, $100, $250, $350? Yes

richard 2:42:58 PM

hhhhhhh


i am from israel




J Kinney 2:43:38 PM

Yes you are

richard 2:43:14 PM

go and see how much they get a day


we get 500$ a week in israel




J Kinney 2:44:12 PM

China, The United States, and Canada, the wealthiest countries in the world, are all hurting. Everywhere in the entire world is.


$500 a week isn't enough to survive in the United States.




richard 2:44:13 PM

but i dont live in usa


i live in israel




J Kinney 2:44:48 PM

You're bringing up these points that you attempt to use as defense & support for yourself

richard 2:44:25 PM

and 500$ is the min wage here

J Kinney 2:45:08 PM

Alright let me leave it at this

richard 2:44:42 PM

i dont understand why you think i am a scamer


i have done nothing wrong i am tring to help people




J Kinney 2:45:31 PM

Anybody that can receive $10, $100, or whatever have you for free without little to no effort, will do it.

richard 2:45:20 PM

but i investd time on website

J Kinney 2:45:50 PM

And if you believed in your web-site, you wouldn't sit here and have this long discussion with me.

richard 2:45:26 PM

do you think this is not effort


?




why not

J Kinney 2:46:05 PM

You said yourself, 2 weeks just to perform a scam.

richard 2:45:51 PM

what i never said tha


t




J Kinney 2:46:27 PM

Because you would know that you can believe yourself and whatever I'm saying would make no difference


Yes you did




richard 2:46:07 PM

where show me

J Kinney 2:46:43 PM

richard 7:43:51 AM


would you invest 2 weeks of your life to scam soneone for 10 or 100$ ?


i am an honest man who is tring to make his way in life


You practically admit to what you're doing right there.




richard 2:46:28 PM

how ?

J Kinney 2:47:15 PM

I don't know your understanding on these online frauds, but I'm a veteran at what I do.

richard 2:47:00 PM

i said there is not one who is going to invest 2 weeks of his life to get 10 or 100$

J Kinney 2:47:32 PM

You have a big SCAM slapped all over you.


Especially basing off of the fact




That you haven't even owned this site for 2 weeks


Have you?




richard 2:47:20 PM

yes i know

J Kinney 2:47:52 PM

You created it August 14th of 2009


You know that




Ok good

richard 2:47:32 PM

yes...


when i do websites




i make them and that i buy the domain name

J Kinney 2:48:23 PM

Did you also know that clearly you've shown enough evidence to prove that you're a total scammer.

richard 2:48:05 PM

becuase finding a good name is very hard


hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh




oh man

J Kinney 2:48:49 PM

It seems you're new to them though. And I would highly advise you against scamming anybody.


You know that post of mine on Markee Dragon? About Envoy Excel in Entropia Universe?




That was me; and it was the scam that landed me the job I've got today. I gained $14,000 USD in one day.


So don't sit here and say that you wouldn't earn free money for making a web site that took less than a week to create




richard 2:49:09 PM

i think you have a website like mine and you are tring to make people think that i am scamer

J Kinney 2:49:47 PM

Because that is exactly what you are sitting here trying to accomplist


Accomplish* I am sorry




I don't own any websites at this time


I will be posting this chat on the MD Forums as well for providing better evidence to the members of the site




richard 2:49:59 PM

if i was a scamer why would i reg my domain name with my real name


?




J Kinney 2:50:45 PM

Because you aren't aware of what you're getting yourself into.

richard 2:50:30 PM

why are you so mean ?

J Kinney 2:51:05 PM

Also, statistically, Israel doesn't have anywhere near the amount of gamer's countries such as The USA and Germany do

richard 2:50:40 PM

i have never id someting bad to you

J Kinney 2:51:16 PM

I apologize if you find me being mean, this is not so.

richard 2:50:53 PM

yes

J Kinney 2:51:29 PM

You are trying to scam people out of their accounts, and that's something I do not want to allow.

richard 2:51:05 PM

you are saying that i am a scamer and i have done nothing

J Kinney 2:51:43 PM

I also apologize that I must end this conversation

richard 2:51:31 PM

i dont like scamers also this is why i had the idea of proticting every one from scamer

J Kinney 2:51:59 PM

I will post this chat on the MD Forums for all to see.

richard 2:51:43 PM

i wont say that i made the site to only help people


i made the site to helo everyone and help my self also




J Kinney 2:52:45 PM

And right there you just gave me plenty of evidence. As soon as I told you about posting this on the site you just told me all that in that little amount of time


Good day to you "Richard"




richard 2:52:30 PM

no becuase i know what you are going to do


you are going to post only some text and show it like i am a scamer




if you post all that chat exactly i would accept


just like the reporters dose




System 2:54:17 PM

J Kinney has left the chat.
 
It may not be a scam, but arambo is temp banned for spamming the forums and via PM. Right there would be a huge red flag to me personally.

Either way, they need to be TWV to offer such a service. Until they are I wouldn't trust them either.
