Might want to look for a different middleman while the OP is vacation banned.

Oh, what did he do? I did not notice. Thank you 🤭

Self banned, because responding to this thread maybe difficult.

He thinks by him self-banning that people will forget about this thread.

He will be unbanned soon, and I look forward to OPs responses below!

Oh I'm sure he'll close the thread upon return and then possibly make a new one down the road in hopes the community forgot about this one. Who knows.

All I do know is that we're all on the lookout now though 👀

Aaand this is exactly what I was saying. New members not knowing how to read a members true trust score, and assuming that because OP has a userbar and some green numbers & a 2010 join date that he must be trusted. This is NOT the case when evaluating a trust score my friend. CalvinST03

Just for your awareness, OP self-banned after being called out for being inactive on HF for 10 years, and then coming back randomly, buying into a group, and wanting to start being a MM on HF's Marketplace.

I would strongly suggest using another, more trusted MM.

This, this, and more this ^

CalvinST03 If your deal is of a smaller value, I'll legit wave my MM fee and escrow the deal for free for you so that there's a very little-to-no chance of you getting scammed or even having to pay anything. Look at it as a welcome to HF present. <3

That is like me returning from however long I was gone and immediately opening up a midde man service, lol. Dude probably wants some free ebooks, or to exit with enough to

Self banned, because responding to this thread maybe difficult.

Such activities are definitely inappropriate, hopefully there is some way to address this, or maybe there should be rules implemented for people to become middlemen.

Happy to see that you are making the service available for everybody, and I believe our interactions off site were pretty good. Keep it up.

I particularly chose not to join Coined because I noticed that pattern of older accounts randomly coming back and doing that. I didn't want to fit that pattern, although I have not been trying to offer any services, just buying stuff xx.

I do hope he closes this without opening a new one. Self banning right after this is incredulous.

There's a big difference in members such as yourself with a 2012 join date coming back to be active, and just posting around, having fun, and engaging with the community not trying to immediately sell something based on your join date -- compared to members like OP who use said join date as a reason to trust them with potentially tens of thousands of dollars all in one go.

One is a chill approach, normal you might even say, and the other is "different" to use a kinder word for it.

Yeah I was reading that the other day lol. Wild stuff.

Very hard to hide your past online!

Quickly I have been learning about my peers as I have came back, some the hard way. 😡

Hopefully nobody falls for something silly like this, though. It is the more elaborate scammers, the people who actually have knowledge, skill, etc. or are good at manipulating.

The contract system is cool though, that was new for me. It didn't prevent my issues, though, user was closed for a different report. That report actually clarified and opened my eyes to reality.

Going without making any purchases for awhile should have been my goal, at least while returning back to the online world. Scams are always getting more complex & elaborate.

Why didn't I bother searching his UID? LMFAO.

Known scammer trying to offer a middleman service? Incredible!

He literally says that he:
- used someone else's Paypal without their consent (his dad's PP)
- that his dad charged back on the PP
- that this isn't his fault

Sounds to me like he should've been forced to either:
1) refund because he used his dad's PP illegally
2) refund because his dad charged back

Kalvaxas is definitely shady & I don't think he should be allowed to MM. For all we know he'll just use his daddy's PP again to pay out a seller and then chargeback later.

The way you're getting worked up is a red flag.

Taking a self-ban while advertising your middleman service does NOT look good for you either:



cc THE RULER

Wow, this really went from 0-100 real quick.

I must admit, taking a vacation ban directly after receiving some criticism from other members is a bit odd.

It's just cringe. Almost half of his post count has been made within the last 30-35 days, if you go just another page back the gap in posts is almost 9 years.

This is just a disaster waiting to happen, he knows what his end goal is and that is why he can't handle being questioned. His answers include "I've helped countless HF members!", "HF is dying I don't want to see that!", "I'm HQ and you're LQ", just straight up bullshit, when he should be answering

WHY now, after 14 years of your account existing did you decide to buy a group membership and leverage it to try and become a FREE middleman

&

WHY do you think you're qualified to do so when quite literally 90% of your account age on HF has been spent entirely inactive, you've never stepped foot in the marketplace, and you're no one of note on this forum.


The fact that he has more or less inflated his post count by nearly 50% in the last month and has suddenly bought group access and awards and started offering to middleman after MANY years of inactivity is just entirely SUSPECT, I think any person with the ability to "see clearly through the bullshit" (his own words) can agree with that, at least to some extent.

Taking a vacation ban to avoid is really just absolutely shameless. Here's to hoping it will all just go away in your time away from the forum.😲✌

I am assuming he bought an account to be honest.

However, I did go through old and new posts and the writing style isn't too far off but I also only went through like 10 posts. I'm sure if I put it through a real tool it could tell better if it's same guy or not. I don't have time to do this, so not going to.

It's all suspect enough.

I'm going to ask fellow pink users what their experience with him was like, I see a few have + ratings on him for contracts.

It’s a free middleman service. Free.

Guy self banned because you were all being dicks for no reason. He’s trying to start something, believe it or not all the people on this forum with high credibility started out the exact same way.

If you don’t want to use a middleman with a ton of credibility and they want to use him because they like him, fuckin let them.

Everyone can be a scammer, doesn’t matter the credibility as we’ve seen in the past.

Seriously, you guys are all being tools.

Literally has an unresolved scam report from when he was last active on HF, 9 years ago, but go off king. LOL

Keep selling group spots to literal scammers making their return to HF and offering services in which they hold other users' funds "fOr fReE"

[Hackers]

You are in coined... any chance anyone has submitted any sort of web3/smart contract in the group since I did many months ago? Just curious.

Separately, you are vouching for this guy even though he charged back on another HF user in past?

This is not the hill to die on, he self banned because he has no way to respond to us. I don't see anyone being mean to him in this thread.

[Cooligan]

You know you're my boy, but this ^

The major difference here is that he's a 2010 account member, who randomly came back out of nowhere. The majority of trusted members have continuously been active throughout the years, and didn't take a 9 year break in between.

Adding to that, his responses to simple questions at first from members were very volatile, rather than simply addressing the points or concerns mentioned in a professional manner.

Not to mention his scam report from the past where he charged back a simple $40.. If he charged back $40, what else is he willing to take? Like Hackers said bro, this just isn't the hill to die on specifically due to how OP conducted himself in his replies, and that he quite literally already tried scamming someone years ago with a $40 chargeback. Not a good look for anyone wanting to "start something" in regards to a MM service or anything else regarding any notion of genuine trust.
