I really don't know what else to say in addition to previous sticky topics:
Group Buys and other Member to Member purchases

Read Before Buying Second Hand Software, Samples, Synths

now there's another case, this time with proaudioguy.
while @Talula has been long warning people about his activity and we've actually been watching him for several months, we never had enough evidence that he is in fact scamming people;
until yesterday, when our long time member @odod reported that he's been scammed, providing a whole video proof about it.
right after that, member @dudebro777 also reported that he's been scammed by proaudioguy, providing proof.

the problem is that even when we have some evidence, banning these individuals is not a solution, because they will come back under new identity and continue their business.
we also cannot prohibit this activity, because then they will take it to PM and spam you, which will make things even less transparent;
at the same time, we surely cannot and will not regulate this;
and finally there are cases when a legit member wants to sell his own license and i believe it can be useful to other members.

so this time i'm taking it publicly, with hopes that members will read it and learn how to identify at least this particular scammer, because like i said above he will definitely come back under new identity and there's not much we can do about it.


@odod, @dudebro777, please share your experience with the public, excluding ANY personal details (except for the proaudioguy i suppose).


I also would like our members to use this topic in the future, to report suspicious activity and their interactions with these sellers.

 

Indeed, please do post any and all information you have about this "proaudioguy" thief so that when anyone searches it here or outside the forum, they're redirected to this thread and information.
