I told him the least he can do is give me half the money he promised to me via paypal while he's waiting for the check so I will know he's not going to scam me. But he told me that he doesn't have any money in paypal so then I told him to borrow it from his friends' and transfer it to my paypal but he gave no reply to me.

I asked him why he switched and requested for check instead of paypal and he told me it's because he can withdraw it for cash and you can't do that with paypal. But with paypal you can withdraw the balance to your bank and then get cash from your bank. Also, if he had chosen paypal instead of check, he would have gotten the money faster instead of having to wait for the check. All of this just didn't make sense to me.

He told me he won't scam me. I want to believe him to but it's so hard to believe him right now. I hope he's not a person that blithely tell lies.

If he scams me, I will because I have to pay my offers with my CC. Right now I don't even have much money.

Interesting to me that you've kept editing your posts and would love to know who this trader is you're working for. By now, surely you have contacted a moderator or gladiator, either will do in this instance if you are truly being scammed by someone from this forum.

For the future, NEVER allow ANYONE to change the trade agreement AFTER you have confirmed that trade!!! Trades MUST be matching the trade agreement at a minimum...no altering, no minusing, no mickey mouse...add in a bonus? Well, duh...but NEVER keep working on/in a trade when the trader changes terms. Contact a member of administration or a moderator asap. Period. We've got far too many new to flr traders and even those jumping the fence after only one or two trades and either way, they are likely not going to be the best bet for new folks to use. You wouldn't know that, though, not if you didn't get a chance to read around the forum first.

Now you also know to contact the site you've greened on immediately when a trader refuses to pay you for whatever reason and told that trade site so they can NOT pay that trader until you are paid first!

I do wish you the best - it is a powerful learning experience for sure - and common sense has got to come into this at some point in time. If it don't smell or feel right - it ain't. Period. God bless and with any luck, you will achieve resolve.

I edited my post adding a little detail because people were misunderstanding me so I had to make it clear.

Yes, I have contacted the Mod and sent a support ticket to the site. Support told me my referrer already cashed out for a check and he will try to resolve any differences between us.

I made a trade with someone outside of this forum. The day I signed up under him, he told me he had some spare time and could help me if I had any questions so I thought I should give the site a shot since he's willing to help me. After the day he helped me, he told me he was busy and started to reply only one time to my messages every other day. Today we pmed back and forth for a short while and he kept telling me he would pay me once he receives the check and told me he won't scam me. However, he hasn't reply back to the last few messages I sent him.

Excellent! At least you did your best to work the process and since it's Znz, they will definitely do what they can and they do have access to other networks so stay positive!!

Outside of flr? Yeah, now why doesn't that surprise me...but at any rate, whomever they are, odds are pretty high they also cruise flr, too, and hopefully, our mods will do something with them. Communication is critical, along with the terms of the trade manager...and ya gotta have both and commitment to make this happen. If nothing else, it shows you've got that figured out...and hoping patience brings you some help:) God's speed!

[meziane67]

yeah, outside is always risky...

but in the worst case if you don't get paid at all, let the site know so he will be put on hold and will not be able to use their sites anymore. They won't let him cash out if he is a scammer. At that point that would be the only satisfaction you can get for now...

But let's hope this person comes clean. Have you asked him if he works on a forum?

It's great that you contacted the site, they can always help out in so many ways!

Looks like you are making some progress and you are getting very good input from the FLR members. In the future I would suggest you trade with FLR Verified members only. Lets all pray that your trade does end up well and you get paid.

[dandy8]

I suggest any FLR members, not just verified ones.

[monksmom]

Well, dunno about that...believe Larry has an excellent point, especially since so many flrians are also on other forums and most folks aren't gonna spend the money to get verified here, so.....................folks really need to trade with those who either have a solid, reliable reputation OR are verified in some way wherever they're working trades.

And on our lil home away from home here...verified IS good:)
