Okay.. I got scammed for 900$ [updated]

[MegaByte]

update:
I just phoned paypal and they told me I asked for details about the claim.
The claim has been made by the credit card company.

It doesn't look good for you I'm sorry to say. Unless paypal can provide concrete proof to the credit card company (which they most likely can't/wont) then the decision wont be reversed, as paypal will never cop a $900 loss themselves

Ouch dude.. Good lucking catching her.. Happen to have any screenshots from the trade? Try to ring up PayPal and show the evidence?

Ps. Seems like we´re living in the same city.. At least for the week I do.

PayPal aren't liable for virtual items and such apart from eBooks.

900 dollars isn't the kind of thing you let people get away with.

File charges, and yes, im dead serious. Fraud is fraud.

If she's still living with her parents, get her parents information and inform them. They will MAKE her pay you that money back, probably with interest.

 

Wow what a loss... What did you sell if I may ask?

Am wonering this aswell.
That sucks =\

If you have their personal details you should file charges or something. That or cause as much shit for them as you can. No one should get away with $900.

Cant believe people are so greedy I mean its fucking Runescape.

$900.. Ouch=/

I agree, I once got scammed for €1200,-. Drove to his house and the parents payed me the full amount directly. Now she's living in Cally and you're in Nijmegen so I suggest just get in contact with her parents. When she lives on their own your changes are slightly zero to none...

This is why I only use bank transfer.

did u use ur real addres + phone number on paypal :S if u did OUCH

go cali and fuck the dude up

 

[PennyRoyal]

that is really ridiculous...$900.

i don't see why we shouldn't post personal details of a scammer though. he or she deserves to be shamed.

all the best in getting ur money back and i hope you will do all it takes to retrieve the money and make her pay.

This site would probally be able to be sued etc, or some crap.

Looking at it , the worst thing i hear you can say in your notes when sending cash for items is to mentions its virtual items. Payment owed is best.

And as she then claimed her credit card has been stolen, ether way you been mega screwed over. Anything that large, I do IRL Cash or post the cash to a EXTREMLY TRUSTED MM. LONG way but for items worth that much must be done. Or western union.

Chargebacks are the worst IMO. Paypal is such an easy way to pay & receive and its just phucked up by the chargebacks.

Been charged back a total of about $400 in my time, which is alot.. but $900 in ONE go thats insane, DON'T let them get away with it!

 

[tiger9110]

Dont think it's her fault, paypal automatically limits accounts that have suspicious activity such as splitting payments into increments or sending an immensely large amount etc. So sending 100$ a total of eight times would no doubt cause paypal to look into it.

This 1000x. Some people in this world are fucking ridiculous.

 

[iJizzed]

Wow thats bad man .. - 800usd

 

[Punchy]

Pm me her info bas, also are you sure this guy wasnt using a hacked paypal? Maybe the rightful owner charged back because it was stolen from her

 

[lolhaha]

1) get personal info
2) go to 4chan
3) post info on /b/
4) ?????????
5) profit

 

[pk till death]

[vvytautass]

[PecuniaZ]
