List of Scam Paypal E-Mail Addresses

Most scammers will get banned and simply begin using a new e-mail address and a new Sythe account. But most scammers will keep using the same Paypal account because they have their credit-card registered to it, and changing that can take a few days.

Therefore, why don't we make a blacklist of Paypal e-mail addresses associated with scammers? Traders and middlemen could check the e-mail addresses of others to make sure that they won't fall victim to a chargeback or other scam. I don't think it would take too much effort, and should save the community a fair bit of money.

Awwh, and there I thought I had an original idea

 

It is a good idea though. Hopefully that list gets compiled.

 

No support. It's a waste of our time, since you can change the email on a PP in about 3 minutes. Iirc, you get up to 4 emails per PP, and you can change any one of the four at will.

 

Denied for three simple reasons;

1. It's a huge hassle for the moderators to continually update this,
2. As Kero mentioned, it's quite easy to change your PayPal, so the Scammer will just get a new PayPal, and
3. Not everyone would check the list anyway.

I know the idea sounds great in theory, but we've had lists like this and they never really work out.
