Icon13 Donkos seller - Scam/Fraud - Watch out!

Seller "Donkos" is trying to commit fraud

Accepts PayPal GnS (Seems legit)
Sends via UPS, but alters the shipping label in photoshop for PayPal
Those less savvy could easily be caught up in this scam

Be very careful!

You should contact the moderators by going to the sale post by this user ‘Donkos’ and clicking on the red Triangle next to the post. The mods can remove the sale ads and ban the user, which is better for others than your post here.

seconded- you should get him reported / banned to prevent any further harm to unsuspecting members. the red triangle below the username is the way to go here.

Yeah they did no problems, i knew it was super risky but with Paypal and also paying on Amex giving double protection if anything happened.
Just have to be smart

Thank you all!

Congrats to you Jim. Glad you got refunded and thanks for sharing but you should inform Mod about this also to prevent those who might not be lucky.

I was scammed by him recently and just yesterday was refunded from PayPal. He "shipped" via Ukrposhta, Ukrainian post, which was the first red flag. I immediately asked for a refund and he wouldn't issue it. I waited 3 weeks for package to arrive and it ended up going to a completely different state.

I also paid PayPal G+S and Amex so I knew I was protected. I reported to mods but no reply from them.
