Scam alert from Desidime user “Guy_Next_Door”
Hi,
Just wanted to alert everyone on the desidime user “Guy_Next_Door” . He had a post up for BMS voucher. I paid him the money and he never sent the voucher and probably blocked me on whatsapp as well.
Maybe I lost my money and was stupid, lesson learned, but want to make sure no else falls for this scam.

OMG! Brother, always look at the Karma and overall reputation of the user, comments/postings by him before dealing

Good luck with getting your money back if he is a real fraudster.
Same thing happened to me initially this year and lost 3k to a scammer like this for a Myntra voucher trade.
But Admins didn't intervene much except blocking the user only after multiple people reported him. I tried to follow that user trading pattern and started warning folks of trades with similar profiles. But after sometimes, I lost track of it.

It is a never-ending story of scammers infiltrating all the measures taken to check them and frequently dimers are getting duped.

whole trading section is like plague on DT .
Please keep all discussion like this and trading complains contained to trading section .
or make a complain sub-section in trading section .
https://www.desidime.com/comments/permalink/10353437
no offense, just dont be bothered by posts like this:)
Well thats not wise, if you keep it in complaints sub section as you suggested, people wont know, as normal people wont read complaints lol
so this is better to create a post when a scam happens:) everyone can be aware this way
just dont feel bothered by post like this , this kind of post keeps normal dimers safer:) in my opinion as many people will read these general discussions section more than a separate section:)

@samit56 plz share your conversation details, money sent screenshot etc. We, the dimers, are also interested in the matter and hope to be resolved by you getting the code/money back.

as per T&C of most of the voucher, they say its not tradable for monetary value
and also as per law i am not sure voucher trading is allowed so not sure
https://www.desidime.com/comments/permalink/10353606

Trading deserves its own revamp, Can DD do an internal automation of otp based mobile verification just for trading section?
I know this won't be enough but atleast one more step towards secure transaction between both parties..
Atleast scammers will have to arrange alternate mobile numbers lol..

My suggestion is Provide a MiddleMan badge to verified dimers who can act as Broker and take some commissions from both parties.
Create a separate list and add those dimers there, so that people can approach whoever is there online & willing to do it.

For middleman kind of thingy there is already zingoy
Trading will always be underbelly of any platform where shady things are bound to happen at least in marginal cases..... And no one can guess the intent of anyone at that particular time of trade.... The incentives of not getting away with such scams is the Detterent.... And creating one such is done by karma but not totally fool proof but fair level one
The issue is there is always people who do shady things and there are always who doesn't have the right incentives or guardrails to determine their will
This is like a predominantly trust related phenomenon which can't be perfect any time Or any place but could have fair amount of checks and balances
And Dd is doing pretty good job at it and always there is room of improvement

OP here, yes, just raised this post on Admin’s suggestion so that other people don’t fall for this scam. Haven’t received any response yet nor the voucher. Have the WhatsApp conversation and the phone number as well. Paid seeing the history os the user in DD and the general assumption that there are more good people in this world than bad.
Not expecting the money back but wanted to raise awareness for others. Not here to damage DD’s reputation. Have been using DD forever and have nothing but respect for the forum.
If even a few people are saved from a similar scam, it is 7K well spent.

It's unfortunate that you've faced this issue but your approach in raising awareness is crucial. Sharing details of your experience helps us avoid similar scams and hopefully more attention can be brought to these incidents. Highly Appreciated and hope your issue is resolved at the earliest mate.

Simply put A complaint in Cyber Crime bro. if 7k is not a big amount for you then you can still make him suffer just to teach him a lesson.
His phone number and UPI ID alone is sufficient to track him.
And please don't try to act like a saint or something by saying people get to know about scam and learn lesson etc and money well spent lmao.
Teach yourself the basics of how to not get scammed online first then worry about other people.
RBI is sending daily msgs about Not to share OTPs and still morons are sharing it over phone and you think you will become a saint after losing your 7k and people actually gonna learn from this.
Did you learn from all these scam stories here in DD? Nope and thats why you traded with a guy having low karma account.
Wanted to raise awareness lol and assumptions of you that Good people are in more numbers than Bad.. ?? Are you from Satyuga? it seems you are a 8 year old kid honestly.
P.S. I Wish Karma will take care of the scammer.
