 | Beware of user "Jonesy"Hello. I think I have been scammed by user Jonesy. I have gone green on 360giveaway.co.uk using his referral link but he still has not paid after 1 month. I am sure he has been on this forum many times since then. Two other users have contacted me with the same problem. |

| Re: Beware of user "Jonesy"Before you go to great extent, have you tried PMing him? It seems he hasn't been online for a few days, now. Trader_mic, you mention in the trade that Jonesy had all the referalls required; the banner shows 8/10 at the moment, did it show 10/10 before? |

| Re: Beware of user "Jonesy"if he is scamming then he needs reporting. however, if he is waiting until he has verified i can kind of understand this, i'm not saying its right to do it woithout discussing it first, but as your account could end up being put on hold, it may just be an insurance methosd to guarentee you accound is green, has stayed green and will count towards his final refs. but you should have discused this first! in any came PM him. Jono |

Or, more likely, they asked for their greens to be taken off his account. | |

| Re: Beware of user "Jonesy"Basically I have been PMing Jonesy for quite a while. I think about 3 or 4 times now. He has not replied to any and I know he was online, after I sent him about 2 PMs, because he managed to give me positive feedback AND created another trade thread for his last two greens (see link below)!! He hasn't replied on the trade threads either. On the trade thread he said to a user, who went green for him, that he sent payment via Paypal but got the e-mail address "wrong". I contacted this user (I think he has posted above) and he replied to me saying that he STILL has not received payment. Here is the trade I completed: http://www.exceem.co.uk/forums/trades.php?do=ad&id=2676 And other trade he put up before all the trouble: http://www.exceem.co.uk/forums/trades.php?do=ad&id=2721 Then the final trade he put up after all the trouble: http://www.exceem.co.uk/forums/trades.php?do=ad&id=2779 I have posted a thread on the Exceem hosted trade support but I have not got any help yet. |

| Re: Beware of user "Jonesy"His 360giveaway.co.uk banner did say 10/10 but it went back to 8/10 again. I am not sure if this makes a difference to the situation. How can we get his giveaway and exceem account banned btw? Thanks for all your help! |

| Re: Beware of user "Jonesy"Have you actually PM'd the Admins about this situation or not? If so, let them deal with it. If not, that's what you should have done first.

| Re: Beware of user "Jonesy""waiting until verification" is by no means a fair thing to do once they order, if you raise an issue with the site they usually cant do much well Giveaway cant anyway |

| Re: Beware of user "Jonesy"The user in question has started a new trade in the trades section so it'd be good to know if this was ever resolved. |
