Is it wrong that I duped a scammer?
I made a post about the scammer I fell victim to on Desidime 2-3 months ago. You can see it here: https://www.desidime.com/discussions/scammer-al...
I wasn't the only one who lost money, over five others lost money since this scammer was constantly making new accounts, and several users contacted me to tell me about his scamming routine and how he got different phone numbers, email addresses, and his location, and amazon accounts etc. while we were filing a cyber complaint against him.
Even though the admin would regularly block his accounts upon request, the fraudster continued to create new ones with liberty.
Up until recently, I thought I'd have some fun with the scammer, so he created a new account and posted a deal as usual to scam people. I messaged him and asked him to send me the code first 'coz of my little Karma, and then I'd pay him. I knew he was the same guy who scammed me in the past, but he assumed I didn't know about his new account.
I took the code, redeemed it, and ignored to pay him on purpose, and he created a post claiming that I am a scammer for not paying him https://www.desidime.com/discussions/dimer-scam... Now a scammer seeking justice for being duped, how cool does that sound? 'coz the admin knows he is lying and a scammer, so he blocked his account.
Now what's amazing is how quickly some people are willing to label someone as a scammer, fraud, noob, or whatever other derogatory term based solely on a post made by a guy who just opened an account last week. In one comment, a user even went so far as to say that the man "sold his ethics and morals for a mere 1000 Rs.." Would definitely sell his children and wife for cash."
I mean, really? I'm utterly speechless by the words people use. Please behave civilized and listen to both sides before jumping to conclusions. It's an amazing community of users that has served me for the past 4-5 years, and I've dealt with lakhs of upfront payments up until now. With these small 1000 Rs and penny payments, I don't think I'll go far in life, instead, I prefer to work hard and earn on my own.
I refused to give him the 1000 Rs. only to teach him not to take life for granted and that if he continues to scam, it will come back to him. He will realize how it feels, and 1000 Rs. is not much. He has already duped me out of much more than 1k. He has successfully defrauded 20-25k from this community by switching accounts, lucrative deals, and targeting new people. Several people have reported him in the past.
That's all from me, if anyone needs any states, etc., I'm here to answer and if we put everything aside for a moment, this is the first time I've become mired in this type of activity, and I've realized one thing for sure, many users here are judiciary in their own, and their use of language has left me speechless.
Good luck to everyone.

How did you find out it was the same guy? I think there might be possibility that he is some different person.. I dont think scammer ppl would go first and gave code to you.
@light1248
How can I know whether it's the same guy? Okay, let's see!
1. When the admin examined his Desidime accounts, he found that they were all accessed using the same IP address and MAC address, each of which was located in Patna, Bihar, that's why he was blocked in all of them without any clarification.
2. If you look at all of his 10-12 accounts, you will notice that he has the same pattern of writing, posting, offering the same deals, and titles, and little engagement in any other category or topic, only selling.
3. His payment method is always Amazon GV, he will never ask for another method or give any personal information. He collects GV from people and redeems it in one Amazon account called "RISHU" then buys products and ships them to a location in Patna, Bihar (E Boring Canal Road).
4. To gain your trust, he will give you a phone number that will only work for a few hours before being turned off. I have six phone numbers that he gave to six different users, and all of them are currently switched off, they come from different states in India and belong to different people.
Now you might be wondering, "Why did he give me the voucher code first?" The answer is that he did this in the past to commit a larger scam. He would strike high discount successful deals of 500-1000 Rs. with 2-3 people with good karma to gain trust and good referral here. Later, he would end up dealing for a bigger amount of 5k or more with a user and tell him, "Go ask the previous two users, I've dealt with them in the past and I'm a successful dimer here." The user gave him the 5k, and he disappeared, creating a new account, and continuing the scam.
He initially deals for 500-1000 Rs. only, and if he has successfully dealt with 2-3 users, he would consider the offer amount and discount he provided.
30000 Apay GV selling @ 4.5%
10k Flipkart gift card available @ 15% 1 month expiry left
Selling Myntra GV 8500 @ 18%
5 X vistara economy voucher @ 3000 Rs.
etc etc!
