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

[Whitejack]

Ow man, that sucks hard. I friggin hate selfish people, If I were you and see that guy I would send him to oblivion.

 

[rstrader1471]

I don't understand how this happened because of the note and the item was sent as payment owed, how could they charge back!?

 

[Bonedust]

Damn that some crazy shit m8.

 

[HappyFace01010]

You guys do realise that there is a 95% chance that it was credit card fraud / Paypal stealing and it wasn't her at all. Normal scammers wouldn't actually go through that process to cancel via credit card.

 

[Bonedust]

Since am swedish and dont need to be verified to have a decent limit i can just make like 10 acc get the person who is buying from me to send the money to one of my ''dummy'' accounts then send that money the moment i get it to my real account. ofc this will cost me like .30.. But worth it since if they charge back that account will be - and couldent care less since i got my money safe and sound in my real account. Whats paypal gonna do? dont have a creditcard or anything on it since am verified and i can use some false name and creat 1000 emails if i wanted to..

just call your credit card compagny and tell them your card is stolen 3 days ago. They'll cancel all payments, also from Paypal. Paypal will bring the balance back from the seller...

 

[spedico]

Ouch. Good luck getting your money back... :C

update 4:38 am slithghly drunk, excuse any gramaitcal arrors ;x:
I found out the guy used a procxy tp register to my forums. he most likely used a oroxy as well to pay with paypal.

I got a friend who is going to spoof the guys paypal mail and send me a messag like "haha, I used a p;rozy to scma you : "

addotional vidence ftw^^

 

[Daymare]

You know, I've been completely trashed, came home and gotten on the computer and still have been able to type perfectly. I mean I made errors, although nowhere close to what you just made, but I did remember the backspace button.

That's really not the smartest idea, when you're sober, maybe rethink that bro.

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.

 

[Jenka]

i hate scammers. ive been scammed for 25mil already, i sold 13.5m today in a good trade tho.

i hope justice is served

 

[123allan123]

Damm sucks mate.
I should sent operation repo to her:$
But I think ur chances are zero.
Cuz she isn't probably a stuppid scammer.

 

[Lured Yah]

What happens if you just ditch the account and make a new one?

Obviously can't verify it again with same CC/Bank, but yea...

they can contact and sue me :/

I've had it before. You can't win since the credit card compagny has the legal right to cancel the payment. She probably used a proxy so her IP doesn't match with the IP the account is made by.

Further, you can't prove anything to paypal. Even when you sent in chat logs they won;t even look at it because you easually could have edited them.

I feel sorry for you dude, since i've been screening around the market again I can see you're a fair trader. Therefore I advise you only using paypal when buying bulk's. For selling you could use playauction/wu/mail to be sure you won't get scammed.

yeah I've noticed

I was scammed by the same person for $400... The claim is there was an unathorized transaction. The word around town is that those are unstoppable and all you can do is hope paypal rules in your favor.



If paypal rules against you they will hand off the debt to a collection agency, hurting your credit score if you don't pay it off. So you can ditch your account but that wouldn't be a smart thing to do.

I phoned paypal and they said she got the credit card company to cancel the payments :/

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

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

I'm afraid so as well

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.

shes a 44 year old women :/

Am wonering this aswell.
That sucks =\

sold rsgp

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.

I have her personal details,I think it was a hacked paypal tho

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

It's fucking real money

$900.. Ouch=/

1800* I gotta pay 800 to be able to use my paypal as well :/

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.

I dont want to give away my personal details

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

go cali and fuck the dude up

ticket costs more then what i got scammed

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.

yeah

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!

probs cant do anything about it

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.

when I had paypal on the phone they told me the credit card company cancelled it.

sucks to be scammed but at least your getting closer to her

ehmm??

By the sounds of it she didn't intend to scam you, she got limited.

when I had paypal on the phone they told me the credit card company cancelled it.

Well whose fault is that? It is possible to be considered scam until she comes forward and gives back the money or pays him back in another way. It's A LOT he lost from, not a few 10's and 20's.

I dont get you

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.

It's probably against vbulletin rules and ppl would abuse it.

Done quite a bit to try to help Bas.
Best of luck, bust that bitch C:

thx I'll try

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

agreed

Wow thats bad man .. - 800usd

1800 usd 900 from paypal and 900 usd worth of rsgp

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

I think it was hacked paypal

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

how do I profit that way?

shit dude. sorry that has happened to you. i would try to catch her by providing the proof to the proper authorities. $900 sucks man. gl

thx

sad , hate those fucking scammers.

it could well be a stolen paypal payment.. meaning byebye $.

Ow man, that sucks hard. I friggin hate selfish people, If I were you and see that guy I would send him to oblivion.

A 44 year old woman buying RS stuff? Maybe her child did it :/

 

[Christchurch]

That sucks!

 

[Lured Yah]

A 44 year old woman buying RS stuff? Maybe her child did it :/

According to whitepages(or a similiar site) theres only 2 ppl living in that house :/
Im pretty sure the paypal was hacked

 

[master414]

If the PayPal is verified or you have your address/phone number, they may contact you if this is left unpaid in many months' time.

I suggest you find out where he/she lives, find his/her phone number and PHONE HIM/HER. Then report his/her address and all the details you can find to
your lawyer or the police (if they care).

GL!

 

[kmjt]

Harass her. You have her personal information.. you know where she lives. $900 is a lot of money.

 

[Lame]

Don't call the police....GET A LAWYER. The police will just laugh at you.
