Kaoru Hanayama (5229108) - Potential Exit Scam - SIM-5117946 - Sep 26, 2022
Profile link: https://hackforums.net/member.php?action=profile&uid=5229108
About 4 hours ago he changed his username from "DaEngineer" to "Kaoru Hanayama" (this will be important later).
He joined HF 2 months ago, and a month ago posted a thread selling 100% SECURE FIFA GAMES TO BET ON - NO CHANCE TO LOSE!.
Anyone with a brain knows these posts are utter bullshit scam attempts, and surprise, one of his bets lost and someone made a scam report.
Link to post about the "no chance to lose" bet losing: https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=6218211&pid=61633208#pid61633208
Link to scam report (OP of the thread didn't provide evidence and has a policy violation which is why i'm assuming it's marked as 'resolved'): https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=6220180
After doing a Google search of the seller's username at the time (DaEngineer), I found a scam report on him on another site from September 8th for the EXACT SAME "Fixed FIFA bet" bullshit, and he is banned for scamming on that website for scamming thousands of dollars from people.
Since then, he is now trying to presumably scam selling other ridiculous unbelievable shit like https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=6220852 and https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=6221304 for thousands of dollars.
He priced one of these items at $1,000, and said if someone wanted to use a MM it would be $5,000, basically hoping he could scam some other poor sucker because you've have to be an absolute retard to want an MM with his conditions.
As of 4 hours ago he changed his username to Kaoru Hanayama and went back to edit the title and OP of his fixed bet thread to whitewash any evidence of his fixed bet being fake.
He also continues to mass report any posts on this threads calling him out.
Be safe folks. There's tons of serial scammers on this site now and I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't this guy's first time doing this to people on HF.

1) if you follow someone claiming to have accurate sports bets then you're an idiot
2) almost all "methods" or "betting" services are bs no matter where it's from
3) Also it does look sus + "how to get 100 agc" lol shit is so bs
4) there was scammers on this site since marketplace launched you just have to know someone or trust your gut before you deal with anybody.

Inspector Gadget, first off you are spreading lies.
Secondly those so many people who I scammed with thousands and got me banned are 1 member who is a member of this forum too @Klip92@ and can confirm you I refunded him his money.
Secondly, I can prove that I got 6 digit standing in crypto rn, so I can play with prices of my stuff the way I like, for me the difference between 1 and 5k is not that big. I'm sorry but I'm not someone that dedicated his life to working from 9-5
Using MM or not is my own choice. If you check any of the major method sellers in the forum, I'm pretty sure they would decline you a deal with MM either.

Cool so you've admitted to being banned for scamming on another website for selling a fake fixed FIFA match.

I admit I've been given wrong info that I shared yes, but I refunded the guy. Like I said he is in the forum and he can confirm it.

You don't think its a little weird you change your name immediately after a pretty big dispute?

Oh sorry not the dispute.
The time where you guaranteed an outcome for someone, then it didn't happen. And then continued to post more "guaranteed" products and also posting a $8400 currency exchange immediately after. Now a name change? Just sketchy behavior.

Looks like the account is banned now.
Just so everyone is aware, this account was a multi of the serial scammer Vichenzo who claims to have had 200+ accounts closed and has been scamming on HF since at least 2018: https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=5827301

Same types of threads and still people fall for it. I also did a community alert on this guy(Vichenzo) a year back and he is still coming back and scamming people. HF must take strick action against this user otherwise he will still come and scam new members.
Thanks for the community alert.

Nice job at doing a community alert. It's good that people are shining light on possible scammers.

Nice job OP, good riddance to DaEngineer AKA Kaoru Hanayama

User in question is now closed so I think it's safe to say this alert is hopefully no longer needed. As always, be very careful who you deal with no matter how long they've been around or "trusted" they appear.
