 Topic: WARNING SCAMMER !!!!Posted: 11/25/2014 at 6:43am |

It seems that we have another scammer on this forum :(((
His nickname is "perssonblade". I've already had a problem with him but I gave him credit (his explanations were possible) and I got my money back very quickly from paypal. A friend of mine in Belgium asked me 2 weeks ago to buy a blade from perssonblade for him because he has no credit card and of course no paypal account. I did it with normal paypal and my friend gave me cash for that blade. Days went on and I didn't received any informations about the tracking number. Perssonblade, or Vlad, or Alex...didn't answer to my messages and eventually, I let him know I would introduce a complaint against him on paypal. At this moment, he answered telling me he was abroad and he will let me know the tracking number. The day after, I got a tracking number : RA148654572LT This tracking number is from Lithuania, the seller is from Belarus but the problem is : that tracking number does not exist !!! I have asked perssonblade to send me a link to track but he never answers. This morning, I got this message from another member flamingmdn: "Hello! I saw here http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=68837&KW=perssonblade&PID=836491&title=del#836491 you had a deal with member named perssonblade and had some issues. Could you tell me what kind of issues did you have? Because now during my 'investigation' I found that paypal account which he gave me to send money doesn't belong to him. I didn't use 'gift' option but now I am not sure that PayPal dispute will work because of this. I wonder because we've finished transaction with Persson Powerplay a month ago (at that time he looked legit because even forum member Antuan confirmed it in one of the topics) and now when blade arrived to my city (Minsk, Belarus) it seems that it was sent to other recepient. Aaaand by suspicious coincience his name is exactly the same to name of a seller from Belarus who is known by scamming people (at least in ex-USSR area) His hame is Alex and forum name here is Demiurge, but he's inactive more that a year now and we all thought he stopped his TT activity at all. I don't believe in such coinciences so I'm trying to gather information. Demiurge still owes 300 euro to my friend so maybe it's a chance to find him :) Thanks!" It is now obvious we have another scammer on this forum. Directly, I introduced a complaint at paypal to get my money back and the case is now under investigation.

I would add that my tracking number is correct (send by Deutsche Post from Germany) but when it arrived I saw that it delivered to different post office.
I contacted them and booom – they told me the name that I know. And he also dissapeared during our communication, two times for one week. But eventually I was given the tracking number and was waiting my blade till yesterday's morning. You know the rest of the story. Of course there's a little chance he's good guy and he just wanted to give me the blade in person, who knows. But anyway all this story looks 'shady' and his bad reputation (now when I know his real name I can definitely say this) works against him. And as I've already said I don't believe in such coincidences. Edited by flamingmdn - 11/25/2014 at 7:06am |

Hi, I opened this thread about him
http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=69192&KW=&title=feedback-of-perssonblade I seen that Antuan and other member had good transaction with him and that gave me some confidence. I paid a blade to him around 9 days ago and he said me that will give me the track number. I'm still waiting and he doesn't answer my emails ....

Sorry maybe it was my fault to give a good feedback for him 'in advance'.
If only I knew who he is from the early beginning I would create such kind of post by myself :( As I know from guys who are acquainted with him it is typical for him to dissapear for a week or two and finally stop replying on your emails/messages and phone calls. |

Another important addition here.
I was asked to send money to PP account that was suspicious from my point of view. So I investigated a little. This account obviously doesn't belong to Alex and found the guy who owns it. He's also from Belarus. I contacted him and had an interesting results: he does some business with Alex with paypal-cash conversion, he gives cash to Alex and Alex gives him paypal asking us (buyers) to transfer money to this account. They were doing such kind of trades for a year. Alex even has a special Skype account for this kind of business. And this guy wrote me yesterday that he also is trying to find Alex. So even if we will open complain on PayPal money will be charged back not from Alex himself. As I know there are other paypal accounts that he used to accept money. And all they belong to different people. So the scheme is really good: we will have PayPal disputes with others and they even don't know what's going on. He's pretty experienced in scamming, you see :) Edited by flamingmdn - 11/25/2014 at 7:53am |

I seems I have also been scammed by user "perssonblade". I don´t know why I did that mistake to send him money. Maybe I wasn´t very careful. I thought having read that user name often before and along with finalised transactions. But shortly after having paid the blade that he offered in the for sale section on 11/16 (he showed me pictures via pm), he hasn´t contaced me again. He did not ask me for the shipping address (which didn´make me nervous as Paypal gives it). Some days ago I asked for the tracking ID of the package. I got no answer. In the meantime I realized all those concerns within the forum. At least since I saw your thread some minutes ago, I am 99,9% sure I have been scammed and I started complain via Paypal right now. The member wrote to me via PM as "Vlad". |

OK, it is clear to me that we have another scammer.
People need to be very careful in providing accurate feedback. Why would you provide good feedback before you have received your items or your payment? That makes no sense to me. |

Sorry for doing that of course.
But I noticed there that I haven't receive blade yet but it was at least sent with valid tracking number. So it was up to readers how to evaluate this kind of feedback. Also there was good feedback from another reputable forum member (much more reputable than me I suppose :)), at least it tells us that he's scamming not everyone and does it in different manners. |

I may have gotten hosed by "perssonblade" as well. I ordered a blade and received a tracking number (RA148596678LT) which does not seem to exist and he does not reply anymore. Oh boy, I sounded fishy and I should have been more careful, I guess. I know that another member here also ordered something from perssonblade. I emailed him and I am waiting to see if he ever got his item.

I dealt with Vlad once, he bought a few blades from me. Everything went smoothly, although I can't say that for his selling....
I hope everyone gets their money back. Bottom line, buy from very reputable sellers!!!! (ex: myself
 , Antuan, Kakapo, mg, proSpin, Chopper88, etc.)Edited by liulin04 - 11/25/2014 at 11:53am |

I'm sure if he acts as a buyer he'll pay otherwise you will not send the blade.
By the way, Reputable sellers, who's going to sell me old Persson Powerplay for reasonable price since I lost hopes to get it from perssonblade? :) |

I bought him 2 blades in march without any problem....
And now I bought him a blade in october, and like you wrong tracking number, no answer to my messages... Very strange. The communication was not as good this time than in march, it was very short answers, sometime like if he didn't understand the questions, not the same than in march, I probably shoud have been more carefully, but in march I had 2 blades at a good price...

The moderators have suspended his account? it appears as suspended. If it is so he cannot have an oportunity to explain what happens.
I'm nearly sure that he is a scammer but always is possible an explanation. He is a member with more than 300 posts... More information: his paypal is [email protected]

Scammers are encouraged by the ff. FACTORS:
1.0 Names and addresses here in this forum are not verified hence could create different/many user accounts. 2.0 When paypal id names and address does not match his MYTT name & address sign of a red flag. 3.0 Scammers will first make legit sales and will just make the right con moves in a short period of time. 4.0 Potential buyers tend to rush into sweet deals even if the seller does not have enough feedbacks to back their reputation. 5.0 You only have 45 days to file a dispute with Paypal so the scammer will try to run around, give you all sorts of excuses to gain time so the 45 days will lapse and you lose your money. 6.0 W0RSE of all is to GIVE GOOD FEEDBACK WHEN YOU HAVE NOT EVEN RECEIVED YOUR ORDER !!!

As I described few posts above, he doesn't use his own paypal in most cases.
[email protected] is PP of a guy who even didn't know what's going on here. Alex owes him a money and tells buyers to send money directly to this guy. [email protected] this is (or was?) his real account. I also want to see an explanation of course. He used to be a reputable guy few years ago and then he started scamming. Then he dissapeared for a long time and now he's back again with scamming a lot of experienced members here. What's going on in his head? Edited by flamingmdn - 11/26/2014 at 12:46am |

I was also planning to buy 1-2 (Stiga) blades from him. Fortunately we did not come together, because we had different thoughts about the value. Since 5 days he does not answer any more, neither with pm nor with email.
It seems, as if he bought 3-4 blades before, to get some positive reputation-points and now he started to cheat a lot of members at the same time. It is possible, that some more members are cheated, but did not notice this thread until now.

I bought three blades from him before one month. I didn't receive them, but I opened dispute cases on Paypal and I got my money back. I have also received a wrong tracking number and he has not replied to my emails anymore.
