Well not just he needs to report it. The ones selling to him do as well.
Only if get paid!
I don't think anyone is trying to twist what's going on, it took me a while to follow your story, and I think others are having the same issue.
Ok i"ll put it out in more detail.
My Brother in law was looking to sell 500k UR. He sent out a text to all brokers he had saved in his phone and email contacts.
Shlomo Miles replied offering 1.6
My BIL called me up saying he has an offer from Alex aka Shlomo Miles for 1.6 on his UR. He asked if he was reliable.
I had done a transaction with him 9 months before and was paid a large amount. I vouched form him without checking.
He asked we transfer the miles to a 3rd parties UA account. Chase rejected it. He then asked he transfer it to his own UA account. We did so and provided login info.
A few days later he saw his UA cc was charged for taxes.. we reached out to Alex and he said ill pay you for that too. it had to be done with account holders CC.
Then he started shlepping with the payment. He said he sent it, then he said tomorrow...
Only after he didn't pay I found on DDF that he claimed to have declared bankruptcy long before!
A few weeks later someone sends my BIL a link to ripoff report with his name DOB and UA account number saying he purchased miles form Shlomo miles and wired the money (8k). He gave him this account belonging to my BIL. A few days later Alax called him up saying he needs short time access to the account. When he logging back in he was locked out.
This buyer blasted off on ripoffreport against Shlomo miles and seller.
A few days later my BIL got a call from the buyer he said he was calling all ppl in the area with that name trying to find the seller.
Only then did he realize that buyer and seller were scammed.
They teamed up to try fight. Sent a lawyers letter ...
Alex went to ripoffreport and posted the buyers name and pic and smeared his company.
BTW the buyer tried getting ripoffreport to change his own report. As he realized that seller was scammed too.
They replied saying as a courtesy they'll remove part of his DOB and UA #. They would not remove my BILs name even though the reporter said it was an error.
