View Full Version : Scammers Beware!
Zilvia.net was issued a search warrant today by a police department doing a criminal investigation on a member (now ex-member) and we were required to turn over a ton of information and records for their investigation.
Since the whole ordeal was not very fun, we are adopting a zero-tolerance policy against scammers and bad sellers, who do not fulfill their sales "contract". If a complaint is received against a seller we will temporarily suspend their account until the situation is resolved between both parties. In no way does this mean that Zilvia will be an arbitrator in a dispute, but instead we will disable the ability to potentially continue scamming members. If the problem between both parties is not resolved we will terminate accounts as needed.

Yea I seen that, but RJF said "was a member" and that scammer still posts on here. His last post was in March. So it has to be another one.

IDK, if he wants us to know, he will tell. Afterall, march was like 3 months ago.
Let's not turn this thread into a "witch-hunt" by making accusations. If you have/had problems with someone, send me the details via PM.
Also, I will not divulge the name of the person named in the search warrant, so let's stop the public forum speculation.

What about previous scams that took place prior to this notion?

In Australia we had a site called *forum scams* where people put all the information about members that were known scammers on the site.
It was very useful until bots flooded the pages with porn

BUYERS BEWARE!!! RARETRICK is by far the worst company i've dealt with. I ordered something from them over 6 months ago and have attempted to contact them since then and still haven't received shit. I PM'd them about 6 weeks ago and they told me that they had the product available to ship out and asked me what the order information was, so i sent them my info and ever since then I haven't heard shit from them.
^ agree with you. I let Zilvia know about him man, they jus ignored me.
I don't read all threads or posts, so if you have a problem send me a PM (as I stated in my original post) and I will look into the matter.

Shouldn't this have been instated long before this incident? I'm glad for Zilvia's For Sale section but if you're going to provide that kind of service shouldn't you at least moderate it somewhat? I see numerous rules broken every time I view the section...I just wonder how long this policy will hold up...

I sent the headlights, and provided tracking information to this buyer. He kept bugging me about it, even though UPS said they were delivered. If anything, this buyer is a scammer and was trying to get his money back.
