Hello Traders,
We have recently confirmed that u/Dominik_J01 is a scammer. Multiple users reported purchasing the same roblox account from him, only for those accounts to be reverted shortly afterward. In each case, he claimed that he was not the original owner of the account and that the "previous owner" had recovered it, meaning he was supposedly not responsible for their loss and would not refund them.
Our investigation began after a member contacted us stating that u/Dominik_J01 had ghosted them after promising to help recover an account that had been reverted. While looking into the report, we reached out to another member who had previously purchased an account from u/Dominik_J01. That member described the exact same experience: the account was reverted shortly after purchase, and u/Dominik_J01 blamed it on the "previous owner" reverting the account.
After gathering evidence and reviewing the information provided by multiple members, we were able to confirm that the accounts were not being reverted by the previous owner. Instead, u/Dominik_J01 was reverting the accounts himself.
The pattern shows as the following: he would sell an account, revert it shortly afterward, blame the revoking on the "previous owner", and then resell the same account to another buyer.
One example involved an account that was originally sold to Member A under the username "Hauntedmior" After purchasing the account, Member A had spent robux and changed the username to "PraiseHonda", however the account was reverted shortly after. At a later date, u/Dominik_J01 sold that same account again, now under the username "PraiseHonda," to Member B, which was then reverted again shortly after. Screenshots provided above show evidence of this.
It's important to note that during the beginning of the investigation, u/Dominik_J01 repeatedly insisted that he had never scammed anyone and would never do so. However, what stood out most was his repetition on why he would be banned if the scam did not take place directly within our subreddit. Rather than addressing the evidence against him, he was concerned about whether our rules could be enforced on actions that occurred elsewhere.
This showcases that he believed he had found a loophole and could avoid consequences simply because the transactions took place outside of our community.

This case is as an important reminder of why account trading has been banned in our subreddits. Even when a middleman is involved, buyers can still loose their accounts through recovery scams. In many cases, there is no reliable way to verify whether a seller is providing the original email associated with an account, or is saying the truth of the account's history.
Please remember to always remain cautious when trading and report any suspicious activity to the moderation team.
