Exclamation PayPal Scam worth 2500$

Hey
I found this thing on DP...thought shud share with people on CBF (ChargeBackForum) too

Quote:

This is a really good one at it too, and figured I'd share it with the digitalpoint community

I sold a website, dazvideos.com.
It made a very nice profit in the short time I had it, and needed some quick funds.
I found a buyer for $2,500 on sitepoint.
I gave him FTP access, upon which he sent the payment via paypal.
Then I pushed the domain to his godaddy account, and thought the deal was over.

I log back into paypal, and notice I have an 'unauthorized' claim against my account.
I sent paypal 13 pages worth of logs, and had 4 conversations with a paypal representative. Each time they understood my side and garunteed me that this guy has no case.

I just got back from a holiday and checked it out.
Turns out I "Shipped" the "Item" to the wrong "adress".
Being the paypal address the money also came from..



Can anyone explain this to me?

Also I noticed its the guy who owns lmmfao.com.
Take a look, the website is mirrored on dazvideos.lmmfao.com
Surprising isnt it?
