Ghufran “Icopify PayPal” Guest Post Scam: Rs. 20,054 Taken, Service Never Delivered, Refund Refused in Writing
We provide web services for international clients and often work as the bridge between overseas buyers and local service providers. In June 2026, one such transaction resulted in a loss of Rs. 20,054 after a guest post seller accepted payment, failed to deliver the agreed service, and later refused to issue a refund. This article documents the timeline of events, so other agencies and freelancers can make informed decisions before entering similar arrangements.
The Individual Involved
The seller identified himself as Ghufran. His WhatsApp Business profile was named “Ghufran Icopify PayPal”, using the following number:
+92 306 6084059
There is no evidence that he is affiliated with the actual Icopify marketplace. The name appeared only on his WhatsApp business profile.
Complete Timeline
May 26, 2026
Ghufran stated that he could arrange a guest post on antena3.ro, a Romanian news website, for an international client.
A PayPal invoice for €80 was issued to the client. The invoice clearly described the service as:
Guest Post Services – https://www.antena3.ro/
June 9, 2026
The international client paid the PayPal invoice in full.
June 10, 2026
Ghufran requested payment for his work. He stated that he was unable to receive payment through a bank account and asked that the amount be transferred through Easypaisa instead.
The payment details he provided were:
Muhammad Ehsan Ullah
Easypaisa: 0343 0646216
Jahanzaib transferred Rs. 20,054 through Raast from his own bank account on the same day.
After receiving the payment, Ghufran replied:
“ok bro thanks”
June 27, 2026
Nearly three weeks later, the client filed a PayPal dispute because the promised guest post had never been delivered.
The complaint stated that payment had been made in advance for the antena3.ro guest post service, but no work had been completed.
June 28, 2026
Ghufran was contacted through WhatsApp regarding the missing service.
He admitted in writing that the work had not been completed, stating:
“nahi yr service nahi di os ko”
He then attempted to place responsibility on another person before asking whether the client could simply be refunded through PayPal.
He was informed that the client was already being refunded from our side and that he needed to return the Rs. 20,054 he had received.
Our bank details were provided for the refund.
He responded that he would check and update us.
June 29, 2026
His final written response was:
“nahi payment nahi karsaktha ma”
No refund was issued.
Subsequent follow-up messages and voice notes produced only one brief response:
“Karengyy”
The repayment never took place.
As a result, the client received a refund from us while Ghufran retained the Rs. 20,054, leaving us to absorb the entire financial loss.

How This Scam Works
This case demonstrates a pattern frequently seen in online freelancing and guest post transactions.
A seller claims to have access to high-authority websites and requests payment before any work has been completed. The international client pays through PayPal, while the local intermediary sends Pakistani Rupees through Easypaisa or JazzCash.
The payment is often directed to a digital wallet registered under someone else’s name.
No service is delivered.
The overseas client later disputes the PayPal payment because there is no proof of delivery.
The intermediary refunds the client but cannot recover the local payment already sent to the seller.
The result is a double financial loss.
Payment Accounts Used
The payment in this case was transferred to:
Muhammad Ehsan Ullah
Easypaisa: 0343 0646216
The following payment accounts should only be published if supported by documented chat records:
- Nargis Batool — Easypaisa: 0347 1453301
- Muhammad Bilal — JazzCash/Easypaisa: 0321 0685757
If any account holder believes their information was used without authorization, they are encouraged to contact us so the record can be updated.
Lessons for Agencies and Freelancers
This case highlights several important precautions.
- Never pay for a guest post before a live URL has been delivered.
- Avoid advance payments for publishing services.
- Do not transfer money to accounts registered under someone else’s name.
- Maintain written communication throughout the transaction.
- Keep invoices, payment receipts, and chat history for future reference.
- If you are accepting PayPal payments on behalf of another seller, remember that you remain responsible during PayPal’s dispute period until successful delivery is confirmed.
Why This Report Was Published
The amount involved—Rs. 20,054—is relatively small compared with the cost of legal proceedings, making it difficult for many victims to pursue recovery through the courts.
This report has been published to create a documented public record based on preserved evidence, including payment receipts, written admissions, and written refusal to issue a refund.
If the full amount of Rs. 20,054 is returned, this report will be updated accordingly.
