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

[Lame]

This is why you only deal with lage sums of money with trusted users.

 

[shortperson]

omg if that happend i would be insanely mad

 

Rofl he won't get arrested for being -900, PayPal will just relentlessly call him and email him. It's all of $900, which may seem like a lot to you, but to PayPal it's couch change.

I was -500 and never paid it off, nothing has happened in the 6 months that have passed.

Although if you used your real name and stuff on the PayPal, I've heard having a negative balance can seriously damage your credit, which is MUCH more important than finding the person who did this.

Sorry this happened man, I know how it feels.

He'll. I just payed off €150,- to pp. I made the account in 2005 when you just made a pp account with false details. They sent my tons of letters in those years. A few months ago they called me so I told them I wasn't the person they'we looking for. However thay made me pay for it...

And paypal doesn't do sht about it, i got limited one with -500$, never used paypal after... Someone charged back on me -.-

They'll send letters collecting the debt and eventually people to collect it for them.

Dang good luck man, let this be a warning for the everyone

Contact Paypal and explain the situation, if you have trade screenies and chat logs that would also be helpful to them. I feel really bad for you. I hate no good scammers.

Best of luck, same issue here for ~350 Dollars red.

Not going to pay off: I've signed on 7 adresses only 1 is my real one they can't do shit to me and no card/bank attached anymore.

You should have had him send it as a gift

You should have had him send it as a gift

Doesn't make a difference.

If I hacked your PayPal account, and sent myself a $100,000 gift using your CC, you could call your CC company up and say hey It wasn't me.

 

[make_a_sandwich]

You should have sent it to your bank and withdraw the money right away?

Just wondering, isn't that person still responsible for what the 'hacker' bought? I mean, you did a legitimate business deal, and now become some dumbass lady got her paypal hacked, you're paying for it. This really isn't right.

FFS post a scam report OR post a general warning in the market lounge section.

This has nothing to do with 'general runescape 2'.

I also lost over $200 in chargebacks I've provided quite a lot of evidence to paypal. But I doubt that paypal will rule in my favour... its extremely annoying that paypal provide so much protection for buyers but hardly any for sellers...

He's got a point. I'm moving this where it belongs.

 

[rs.paradice]

What's lost is lost I believe. I seen many people saying they were charged back and did anyone or really anyone actually get their money back from a charge back? I think the possibility is close to zero.

What can only be done now is, track the fucker down, contact the local police and it should be easy to fuck their lives up over a cyber crime. </3 Hate to fuck people up but that's what I'd do if I was in his position.

 

[DangerousConformist]

I'm sorry bro.
A chargeback was on me for $400.
Good thing I hadn't given him the 400M yet I told him i'd give to him as soon as it cleared to my bank.
Paypal Favored the douchebag.
Ah well.

Good luck though, bro. Call PayPal, see if anything helps.
