I was recently contacted by a Sean Brady [email protected] offering some domains after seeing one of my Want to buy ads.

I checked the whois and it matched his name, I asked him to post my name on his site as proof he was the same Sean Brady, he did.

I made an offer, it was accepted, he asked for western union or the like for payment, i ended up paying by paypal.

After paying he sent two more emails requesting the money. I replyed to both advising it had been sent. No comms since, its been 3 days, filed claim with paypal but who knows!

In short, watch out for this seller, use escrow services and run for the hills if any seller asks for non disputable payment options like western union....should have seen that coming!
 
how much money did you send him? whats domain(s)?
 
Where was the domain registrared?

Contact the losing registrar, usually legal{at}registrar.com.

Submit proof of purchase and agreement.

PayPal typically will not investigate nor refund for non-tangible items, which includes domains.
 
Seems to be a lot of this about at the moment .. New Year has bought some cockroaches out from underneath the stove!
 
Jim Smith names are indication of impending scams.
