Scam / Counterfeit Reports Thread for Sapien Medicine

User name: Joel Name: Evans Osenat Has a hidden profile They “sold” project HPGE for $300 and pocketed the money. I thought it was kind of weird how they have me the audio first but waited to transfer the NFT. I had given them the benefit of the doubt at first and thanked them for that. Eventually, I had realized a couple of missed red flags (like saying Venly instead of Phantom, not knowing USD is the same as Dollars). I was too trusting in them.

Scam / Counterfeit Reports Thread for Sapien Medicine

[image] Joel still making the rounds it seems. Probably saw my comment about planning to buy Conceptual Conglomerate.

We shouldnt wait until the trust tread is up.

[brian95240]

Definitely don’t deal with him. You will get a stolen audio and no NFT. Then you are left with a nonuseable .mp3

[brian95240]

Thank you @Divine_Lotus You are appreciated for everything you and the others have done in the community; as well as this. It isn’t an easy task to moderate things. It can be a thankless job at times, it seems. I want to give people their Roses while they can still smell the pedals

[Psimindset]

man if there is a third party for assuring the exchange it would be very helpful

once the money and nft recieved by the third party it transfer money to seller and nft to buyer

[Divine_Lotus]

@Psimindset

@Divine_Lotus

This is how things can start to get more complicated and risky by adding a middleman regardless of trust status. Also considering that staff members cannot always be here and if everyone starts doing this, you see how that can get more friction pretty fast

It also is not our responsibility as staff to do these kinds of transactions and if anything may be more as a volunteering support.

Up to you if you want to add a 3rd party that’s trustworthy

Also a related mention

@SammyG

I’m thinking on this. If someone has facilitated at least 3 successful trades, then perhaps they can get the trusted trader badge?

We can also maybe have trade facilitators, that for a fee, act as the middle men for trades (people with 5+ trades only).

Then with newcomers… they just have to be the first ones to send. Only fair. And since they’d choose a trusted badge member, less risk for them anyways.

Still open for discussion so I’d like to hear peoples thoughts on this.

While the solution is in the works as described here
Please do share your thoughts and ideas here in the thread below

@Alex

i propose the following format(based on personal experience)
every member will create their own polls to get vouches and ratings

[Psimindset]

A list for trusted members act as third party or sellers pinned to the forum updated once the member reach some status at the forum.

I feel many they would help in that but not that fast for transaction
Like they assure one transaction a week.

This will assure protection for credible buyers and sellers it will protect the integrity of this community.

I don’t sell my NFT but it was just thought for members who got scammed.

[JHALAK1989]

Why is that man still not blocked from forum if he has already scammed other members here?

[Divine_Lotus]

That’s already dealt with @JHALAK1989

@Divine_Lotus

Banned Joel.

Merged threads

[JHALAK1989]

This man does not look trustworthy.

[gittir]

Somehow all the u’s and ur’s are ringing alarm bells for me.

[Nice2knowU]

Indeed.
If you wanna test an NFT, you send over the actual NFT, its simple

[brian95240]

Testing vibes? Man, the things they are coming up with now are getting ridiculous. Sorry you are dealing with another one of these types. What a way to farm files. They are getting desperate to create more YouTube videos it seems.

[JAAJ]

99% chance that this is a scammer.

Because if someone wants to get “a feel” for a NFT, they can look at the mandala pictures here on the forum.

“Tiameti” joined the forum 1 month ago. I wonder how many “7 days testing periods” he/she had the chance to conduct in this period…?

[anon3411921]

Yeah, if they want to get a “feel”, it is only because they want to upload it to YouTube.

[Powren]

Lol, gotta give him that he’s pretty creative.

But these incursions begin to annoy me. This begins to do a mess in our forum.

How about we, along the lines of mass meditations now focus on something else?

Some sort of security grid, together with our servitors and fields, to repel these annoyances or in some cases, let them know with whom they are trying mess.

[Kalacakra]

Why can’t we have a servitor protecting the forum preventing scamsters from joining?

[Powren]

To make it so exact, wouldn’t be so easy.

But with a collective effort and energy, we can create something that may be good at doing that.

[Kalacakra]

Hmm ok

[Lunamoon22]

I guess he meant to PM a member but ended up posting in the thread by mistake.

So here he goes
