@303 (formerly @1011) was unbanned because he issued a refund, but what would have happened if there had been no proof? He would never have reimbursed the money, and you would have taken his word for it—just as he initially denied ever selling anything, despite irrefutable evidence.

He has now changed his username from "1011" to @303 to confuse the situation. If he took two weeks just to decide whether to return a mere $250—only doing so to avoid a ban—imagine what he would do for $1,000. A scammer remains a scammer.

I don't understand how he hasn't been permanently banned. I'm certain he'll continue scamming at the first opportunity, just being more cautious next time.

In any case, be careful. Reputation means nothing—even someone with 2,000+ reputation can scam, as proven by @303. Always use the escrow system, which is completely free.

Conclusion:

@303 got away with it. He scammed a member, dodged responsibility for two weeks, and only refunded when forced. He will likely try again. The rules need to be reviewed.

I also thank @breachedu76 for having contributed greatly to bringing proof and to having helped @revelation, because otherwise he would have always denied it and would not have reimbursed him.

@303 what is anna's underwear color?

DWC applied till @303 shows evidence of 5 deals completed using escrow.

This is originally the norm when a user refunds after a scam report. It's in place now.

it's true in any case he is on a day that will be banned for scam because he will jump on an opportunity

I get why he got unbanned, no reason to pay the person back if you don't. But I agree that he should get banned for good even tho I obv can't verify the story myself
