Do not deal with user "ticallian" (emt scam)

[OpTiX]

PWNED!

totally lost all hope for your self

I can't believe you guys thought EMT was safe. How is it safe? There is always a flaw in everything that is made, EMT has no security (ie. getting scammed) and it can get reversed as easily as frauded/stolen PayPals.

well, i dont mind with established traders, EMT or COD. i wish i wasn't in WPG b/c not many traders here. and the LOCAL DEALS only has become the NEW HIT thing around here

Great. I don't trust Paypal and now I can't even be confortable with EMT. May as well go back to using beaver pelts or something.

Well everyone started as a newbie. I wouldn't call any newbie a scammer because of deal fell through. But in the mean time we could never be too careful.

Yeah. I don't see the OT point. If anything, ticallian should be wary, he's the one sending EMT first. That's a nonrefundable transaction.

If you're wary, i can understand that. But there's no need to come here slamming a guy if the deal didn't workout for you.

You can trust it, just be very careful and watch out who your dealing with.

Better to use credit cards on PayPal rather than bank accounts so it's easier to get your money back If you've been scammed, or always accept Verified accounts with confirmed addresses

Direct bank deposit is probably safer than both. I actually prefer bank deposit for all my large sales.

I think EMT is safer than cash.

no worries about counterfeits for both parties.

"That's a nonrefundable transaction."

Did you actually read the millions of posts before you stating that EMTs CAN BE REVERSED?

EMTs CAN be reversed IF the account was hacked and funds were transmitted. Unless you withdraw it right away there's always the chance of your bank cancelling the transaction or taking the money back. This type of scam has been reported many times on this forum (iPods were the most popular for EMT scams), and there was also many reports of EMT scams done on E-Bay.

thats intense! people could claim their accounts are hacked then get funds reversed =x EMT scary.

yeh man honestly i dont worry about EMT...all i know is, i will never give someone somethin before i have cash in my hand...if its EMT ill go cash it then ill make the transaction...yeh maybe i should be a bit warry, but ill be warry of anythin...regardless...cash=u get ur ****;p

thats my quote btw...

You are very right, because that way, it's the owner of the account sending money to your account, face to face with the bank, not cowardly online ****ing with innocent hard working people.

Shame to this dumbass moron ticaliian.

[goat]

hmm
and here i was thinking EMT was safe (obviously there are ways around it, as nothing is fullproof, but i thought this was relatively safe).

I just want to say Bank transfers (wire transfers) aren't safe either
i've been scammed for ~2000 through a wire transfer
cause they close the account and run.

if you prefer receiving bank transfers, that's your own forte.

I just want to say one thing

nobody has PROOF of this guy being a scammer yet.
Everybody can be weary, but I'm always weary with dealing with people if its not face to face (even if they have good feedback).
So to flat out call him a scammer isn't right. to warn everybody is fine. I think if anybody chooses to deal with this guy
make it face to face
at a bank
cash only.

Verify the bills are real right there
give him the product
and be gone.

Actually EMT's can be hacked quite easily. Keyloggers, trojans that record your keystrokes are everywhere. Public access computer terminals, college campus computers, cafe's, mabey even on your own computer and you may not even know it. And there is always someone doing thier online banking on one these keylogged infected computers, and not all Anti-virus software can pick them up. Infact, someone on here has been scammed a while back with an EMT that was rejected. CertaPay has initiated some countermeasures to help prevent it, but it's no where near 100% safe. It's even worse with PayPal.

damn some real fishy stuff going on. I wouldn't approach this guy with a 10 foot pole
