There are some details that the public don't need to know and the staff should not disclose it.

This scumbag scammed me last week. I'm in the process of recovering my names.

He uses multiple user names (at least three) on every major dn and webmaster forum. I suspect that he uses "throw away" user names to scam (knowing that he will get banned) but always maintains a "legitimate" user name so he can continue monitoring forums / sell his stolen domains. (likely uses a web proxy to disguise IP).

Paypal address is [email protected]
The buyer of one of the stolen domains indicates that scumbag's name is ANADOLU MAH. (who knows if that is his real name but that was the name that he seemingly has on file with paypal . . . of course the buyer of the stolen domain may be not be providing accurate info)

One user name on digitalpoint is dar!ush (user name includes exclaimation point). Usernames on v7n is manhatan and -d-. IM is dariush (letter "i" instead of exclaimation point). Identifying the user names after a scam is only moderately helpful because I get the sense that he abandons those usernames. I would not be surprised if he uses 10 user names at each forum.

At one forum, a victim indicated that he may be from Iran . . . but even if that is the case, paypal has a different address on file because the US has sanctions against Iran . . . government clearance is needed to transfer money to/from Iran. I doubt that he has that. I hope he's from the US . . . if so, he will get caught.

For anyone reading this, its very important to always google the buyers email and contact info!

Hope we find this scumbag, I was contacted on NP with a picture of a iranian passport. the NP member does not want his identity exposed. He has confirmed that this scammer is Iranian.

Since I can read Farsi, I have translated what I can:

Passport # 12749
Immigration # 432083
Name: Dariush Millany or Millani
DOB: Jan 21 - 1987
Fathers name: Kurush
Mothers name: Hamran

That's all the info available on this passport. Now this may or not be or scammer. For now, this info will be posted until further notice.

Yes, that's him. I was sent the same pic and have been looking for a person that can translate it. Where have you been?

I hope he gets nailed eventually. Young or not, a crime is a crime.

Silly Rabbit, I told you all I speak Farsi. Don't hesitate to contact me to investigate Iranian Documents.

wow! Nice work!

I do not think that he would be able to wire/send/withdraw paypal funds to a bank in Iran. Perhaps he is using a non Iranian bank. If he is using a US bank or has an accomplice in the US, there is a paper trail whereby something can be done (i.e. freeze funds).

This scum thinks that he is "clever" because his scams are sometimes successful. Sickening.

Paypal needs to take on some responsibility for these scams. I talked with someone from the executive office (did not sound very executive to me) about the scam and lamented the fact that once the dust settles the victim (me) is left holding the bag and the scammer gets to keep (for now) his ill-gotten gains. Paypal referred me to its user agreement (....um....the one I reviewed in 2001 when I established an account) where it states that paypal offers no seller protection for the sale of intangible items. My argument, however, was at the consumer level . . .where are the warnings that customers should not buy/sell intellectual property using paypal . . . where are the warnings that there is a common domain name scam occurring repeatedly?? Paypal stated that it's the customers responsibility to investigate the validity of the buyer/seller (true) and that it is not paypal's responsibility to educate customers (huh?). I reminded paypal that it has an entire division dedicated to educating customers of spoof emails, which not only protects customers but also protects all the trust and goodwill of the paypal brand. In the case of buying/selling domains using stolen account information, however, paypal relies on the disclaimer in its user agreement instead of warning customers or forbidding outright the sale of intellectual property.

Paypal also missed the point that this scam includes someone compromising customers' accounts. Essentially paypal has a vested interest in NOT warning customers because such would publicize its deficient security system.

 

[Dale Hubbard]

I thought the culprit was a Turk?

 

[Theo]

No, it's common for these guys to use a front in Turkey though. They even use Turkish dialup ISPs from within Iran to perform their scams.
