I'm sorry, that doesn't show or prove anything.

1) I have no idea who you're talking to in those emails. Post the emails so I can see the person's email address make sure to to show the email header so I know it's not a spoofed email address (you can just post 1 email)
-- click "show original" or "show source" or "show header" to view the header for an email

2) I don't see you giving him anything. Where did you give him a code?

Here's the pics proof that i gave him the code

And this is the pic with header

It matchs the email address which it wrote in my thread

[email protected] is not a real email. Your own screenshots show that because you received multiple bounce back emails from Google saying "failed delivery" and "email address does not exist"

You can even go to Gmail and try resetting the password, it will says "Email address does not exist".

I don't know who you're talking to in those emails, but I do know it's NOT [email protected].

Rejects real email is very close to that one, it might be a typo that he posted in your thread. OR it could be a scammer spoofing his email to scam you. I don't know yet. This is why I asked for you to post the email headers. i need to see the real email address that you're replying to.

Firstly he sent me an email , but i didn't reply on time , so that he wrote on my thread to state that the email was sent by him. That's the only email I receipted from that email address. Whatever you ban him or not , I can't recover my loss. Just let another member get scammed. Who cares

- - - Updated - - -

Just look at the time

Dose the scammer foresee that he will reply my thread?

Banned - Creating new account to avoid WARNING-tag

My email is [email protected] I am in no mood to argue, so I will keep this short and sweet, 1. I don't have your account, putting in [email protected] was a typo and I just didn't catch it, I do use iPhone on this forum 99% of time. 2. Whoever this imitator is, he has followed me from another site, how else would he know I was scammed? 3. I did offer middleman, as can be read in the post, and the email, so scammer gave you a valid option. 4. I apologize, and I did actually want to buy your account.. If you get it back (somehow) you can contact me at the first email address.. 5. When I get payed, if you are still wallowing in self-pity, I can contact you and pay HALF the 25 dollar fee, but I don't have a PayPal (every deal I have done is with gift cards) so it will have to be in that form. 6. That man (or woman) said he would pay via PayPal.. Which I just said I don't have.

edit: Wether I get banned or not for this spoof is irrelevant. I just want OP (Keele) to realize he got played as much as me. Oh, and I edit my posts frequently when I see mistakes, the email was on blue though, which it difficult to read.

edit: it looks like [email protected] had an error when logging into the account, is it still in your possession? If so, I'd like to buy it.

edit: my post never said anything about me sending you an email.

Please post the header code, it only takes a few seconds.

In Gmail open the email, click the down arrow next to the "reply" button and select "Show Original". Then take a screenshot of that and post it.


Again I don't know who you're talking to in any of those emails.

That's legit, which confused me, because when checking Google it still says the email doesn't exist. Then I tried to reset the password for [email protected] and surprise the email was deleted 3 days ago.

This account was deleted 3 days ago. You can attempt to restore it by selecting one of your recovery methods below.


Reset your password using the verification method below:
Get a verification code (via SMS) on my phone: ••••••••••06

I did a password reset to Rejects email also and the verification phone number ended with 20, not 06. So it's not a match.

However it seems unlikely a scammer created the email [email protected].

There's a security phone number attached to the email. If a scammer registered the email [email protected] and deleted it within 24 hrs, why would they add a phone number? They wouldn't. It would make no sense.

I can't prove the email belongs to Rejects, so he won't be banned, but the warning will remain on his account.

Closing as resolved in 24 hrs if there's nothing else.

How to explain that the scammer sent an email with similiar contents , and went before him?
Does the scammer can read his mind ?
Whenever he edit the post, the posted time never be changed.
If this is not a deception ,it must be a paranormal event.

 

[EpicNPC]

Scammers tend to contact members off-site with whatever contact info they post.

A scammer could have tried to email rejects at [email protected] and the email bounced back. The scammer could then see that the email didn't exist and registered it themselves, then contacted you impersonating reject's.

This is all hypothetical and doesn't make 100% sense.

1) Why would the scammer delete the email?
2) Why would the scammer add their phone number to it?

This is why the warning will remain on Rejects account, but I'm not 100% certain they're the same person which why he's not being banned.
