Scammed by PurplePandaLabs for $900 - GG gaslighting

Having adblock addons is nothing new and mobaxterm is for my seedbox - again very common these days.



Like I said - I don't know what was compromised however on the PPL website when making the original order, I was sent to a different order URL than the one given in the legit PPL order confirmation email.

How come you or ollie did not answer any of my questions in my previous post, are you biding your time or what? Are you going to look into what I asked or show the evidence that I asked?

Hopefully you aren't doxing my personal information (name,address) to people because that would be very shitty and wouldn't prove anything.



They haven't shown me any evidence of anything behind the scenes so their word is just their word. They claimed someone was making a bunch of new accounts and trying to scam them - where are those screenshots? Where are those logs?




I never said I don't know much about computers - I said I don't know much about BTC, ie the segwit stuff.



I'd appreciate it if you would censor my name and address if you are sharing any videos with people. I don't know if that info is on the videos you were given as no one has sent me them.

I'd already accepted the $900 was lost before I made this post.

-----

Like I said the other day in this thread, if PPL was breached in any way - they are not gonna want to disclose that publicly as it is business suicide - everyone will avoid them so I can't blame them for sticking to their story.

There's some stuff in their past (like probably every source) that means they are not impenetrable so to so boldly say they cannot be hacked is just ridiculous - note that I am saying hacked in general and not their BTC setup.

-----

If my computer has some kind of malware - how or why did the PPL order URL change? I can understand the BTC address on the screen would change, but how or why would the URL as well? That makes zero sense.

PPL has not mentioned investigating the URL/order number - they seemed so convinced I was a scammer purely based on the Dark Reader screenshot.

I also did try another order with that temporary PPL account when showing Dark Reader and the URL matched the one that was sent to the email address order confirmation.

So I would say that rules out malware on my end.

-----

Also like I said the other day, I did go with PPL as they were (and are) the best rated (China based) source that I could find - in no way is this an attack to lower their credibility or to promote any other source.

I just didn't want to walk away from $900 without making a post so that either it is investigated properly and the issue is fixed/my order is filled or people are warned that it might happen to them.

I would appreciate it if PPL/ollie can answer the questions in my previous post.
That part about being sent another link, sounds like some type of spoofing attack, if more cases pop up, that would be one thing, otherwise it sounds like you were targeted somehow, possibly by malware, also there’s tons of malware that’s undetectable by malware scanners, there’s relatively simple ways to go about making something FUD(fully undetectable). Once again I have to say my best guess is a spoofing attack which maybe we’ll have more reports of come out soon, or malware on your end. I seen the backend of your account info, and the address is different than that which you provided, and I don’t see a reason for panda or the website guy to target your order specifically, and just your order, we will see if more reports come out, otherwise, I would be weary of something on your end, and when more samples of that malware are sent in and become detectable to your scanner, it would be found then.
 
dont know about email but i clearly saw in purplepandalabs site loggin with your account a different btc address , order unpaid and even on blockchain too…

so an email you received lead you to a parallel site with different btc address…

No, you are not reading what I am writing.

I placed the order on the official PPL website - nothing was done via email.

-----

When going through checkout on the PPL website it will automatically forward you to the order page where it will display the BTC address and tell you there is a 2 hour window to make the payment.

Look at the first screenshot in the first post in this thread, that is the URL address that PPL's website forwarded me to along with the BTC address. It is not a fake website, it is PPLs domain.

The URL in the screenshot is

https://www.purplepandalabs.com/shop/payment?code=041026682648504

so I went ahead and sent the money to the BTC address that was displayed on that page (in the first screenshot).

Minutes after sending the BTC, I received an email from the dodgy protonmail saying the payment was received.

-----

So to summarise, I did the entire order on the PPL website.

Instead of forwarding me to /shop/payment?code=210729020421630, I was forwarded to /shop/payment?code=041026682648504.

All of this is on PPLs domain, there is no fake website.


Yes, the BTC address tied to order 210729020421630 will be empty because I was given a different BTC address from the order URL page 041026682648504.

-----

So if PPL is unable to do segwit BTC addresses with their billing system that means it is not a bug or a simple software glitch of giving the incorrect order number.

Instead it means that someone purposefully forwarded me to that order number and then (for some weird reason) sent a fake confirmation email afterwards.


-----

So the question still remains, why has PPL or ollie not answered my questions from yesterday or given any proof that I have asked? Have they even looked into 041026682648504 order in the logs/database?
 
I just want to make a final post here, i have shown irrefutable evidence to well respected members here that everything is clear from our side, this cant be changed and every single one of them agreed that this is clear from our side, if someone like @biggerben69 (which is probably one of the members i respect the most) wants to check it too, let be it, this is how this ends, as i told the other day we didnt mind as a source to show the evidence to Millard or respected members here, the OP can write big ass biblical messages, but the evidence was already shown and it’s impossible to supp

As @dennia has pointed out several times (i dont judge you since i personally attacked Panda when shit went down) our source has had some big screw ups in the past, and probably we will have some in the future, but Meso is about harm reduction and defending sources when it’s necessary and defending members where it’s necessary, this is a situation where the source was right, when we do a mistake i want us to be judged as it should, but when we are right this should be acknowledged.

I don’t believe the OP had any malware, or that the OP wanted money, he just wanted to cause some damage for whatever reason, there will always be people like this, a guy a few months ago started sending me Wickr messages with a dead dog pic after refusing to make a bigger discount to him, why? Because there are people like this in the world, if he had any kind if malware it’s a pity but it’s his fault, but i still don’t believe it, i just think it was a well built story with the objective of causing damage.

I think I handled this good as a rep, Panda too, i think that this is also a prove that since the past attacks we are taking security more seriously, short term benefit wouldn’t.

Because you are a scammer trying to do time, we already proved how the addresses looked from our backend and even from inside your account, @Cashton @FR0Z3N_B0MB3RRR and @MindlessWork looked at this, they have seen the real QR code and the real BTC addy that was giving to him as a client and the address and QR code we have on our backend.

Sorry your story won’t work anymore buddy :)

Also, is no one else concerned that this guys personal information has been widely shared now?
1) The only way of proving that we were not hacked or scamming him was showing the real info that he got, same as our backend info, it has not been widely shared, it’s against Meso rules as he knows and probably he was trying to get some of the info on the open to get us a ban or playing innocent.

2)The information was just shared with some reputable members to check the veracity of the information instead of putting it out in the open, as you might comprehend it was the only way we could probe it, as someone said yesterday neither we or the OP scammer have proved anything, the only way of proving it was this way.
 
Probably that guy is having a malware and from there the error.
Don't think Panda do scams they do other things and a simple post will not harm Panda "reputation" as neither the personal info and DEA was
 
If this was truly a scam that wasn't him real personal info unless that wasn't a scam and a error from some malware or other things that I don't know

You literally did not provide any proof or evidence - you did not answer the questions I asked yesterday.

You are simply spoon-feeding videos to members on this forum that do not address my questions and asking them to vouch for you.

@FR0Z3N_B0MB3RRR does not even understand what is going on yet has somehow vouched for your "proof".

As I have said already, the legit BTC address provided for the order is going to be empty because I was forwarded to a different one on PPL's website.

Maybe you or PPL know what has actually happened and have dug yourself a hole that you can't lie yourself out of.

You have been caught once lying when you claimed I had sent emails to Melody a day after ordering but won't admit to that one. You sent the actual proof yourself.

Also, is no one else concerned that this guys personal information has been widely shared now?

Yeah I am concerned. There was absolutely no reason to share my personal information as that does not prove or disprove anything - but here we are.

1) The only way of proving that we were not hacked or scamming him was showing the real info that he got, same as our backend info, it has not been widely shared, it’s against Meso rules as he knows and probably he was trying to get some of the info on the open to get us a ban or playing innocent.

Again, sharing my personal information does nothing to help either of us except as a way to punish me for coming forward with this.

If you think 1.5 year old accounts on this forum are reputable then you are a very trusting individual.

Widely… 3 people.. and none of those 3 has any willing to fuck with useless stuff…

3 people that we know of. One of them openly offering to share it to others on the forum - I wonder how many people have my information now.

Once more i'd like PPL or ollie to answer the questions that I asked yesterday and to provide (non-doxxing) evidence via screenshots.

If you want to do some digging see that Dragon has a problem few months ago that when a customer made a order they received a email with what product they ordered and a btc address and that address was not from Dragon. They paid and nothing was send to them.

Panda and Dragon are cousins so maybe that's leading to something

Dennia the information i have given about this guy to the members is totally framing him, i acknowledged we have had problems in the past, hence why you hate us, but honestly, giving ideas to a scammer is not a good idea.

I don't hate you I don't give a fuck about you or any sources. If I am a customer I expect something from a source if they don't deliver they can go to hell
Market don't lack raw sources they lack some simple things that a sources must respect
 
This level of reasoning is stupid.

Its the perfect cover. Why would someone with a shit tonne of cash possibly selectively scam such little money. The answer is, greed.
You think an 8 figure operation gives a fuck about 900 dollars? Literally it's set up to run itself. To selectively scam 900 dollars here and there is peanuts. Especially if it has to be manually done to override the automatic wallets and transactions. Why would someone risk their operation for that.

Oooh poor baby scammer, he got butt hurt and now you are going to start acting like a victim.
If you think 1.5 year old accounts on this forum are reputable then you are a very trusting individual.
No worries, your less than a 2 weeks account has more than than a member that has been here since 2010, i loved how you cherry picked the account that was the newest one.
3 people that we know of. One of them openly offering to share it to others on the forum - I wonder how many people have my information now.
Yeah, @MindlessWork is a monster just for wanting to show that you were full of shit and not knowing if showing that could go against the rules, you are starting to show your true colors.
Once more i'd like PPL or ollie to answer the questions that I asked yesterday and to provide (non-doxxing) evidence via screenshots.
The only way of proving it is with a video, raw and non edited, even loading the website as we did and sent to some members via DM, proof is as irrefutable as 1+1=2 so be it, I already know that you are one of those nutjobs that will keep going and going because you have something personal against us.
 
Widely… 3 people.. and none of those 3 has any willing to fuck with useless stuff…
Sure. But how do you know every one of them will not do anything with that info? Seriously?
Because if both 3 of you and Panda know each other personally then one could say you can be biased/ conspired together. (Not saying at all this happened!)
On the other hand if you don't know each other its certainly no good to have this level of trust from Panda's or your side in some anonym person on an internet forum.

I am open to it being Malware on my end but why would they go to such extremes as to alter my URL address bar, create an email address, send me an email etc? That doesn't really make sense imo.

Dennia the information i have given about this guy to the members is totally framing him, i acknowledged we have had problems in the past, hence why you hate us, but honestly, giving ideas to a scammer is not a good idea.

If you can send me that same evidence via email that would be great.

How long after you placed your order did you send the BTC?

Less than 20 minutes I believe.

You think an 8 figure operation gives a fuck about 900 dollars? Literally it's set up to run itself. To selectively scam 900 dollars here and there is peanuts. Especially if it has to be manually done to override the automatic wallets and transactions. Why would someone risk their operation for that.

I agree which is why I want them to look into what happened but instead they haven't provided any evidence and just labelled me a scammer from the get-go.

Those questions are still unanswered.

Im going to explain this with an example, if the police has evidence that a guy is a thief, and the evidence totally proves it, the evidence can be shown on the newspapers since it has been proved.

This totally proves this guy was a scammer, it was the only way of proving it and he knew about it, we could have posted about it on the open forum but I preferred to send it to some guys instead, why? Because ven tho he’s a scammer i need to follow the rules.
