My first time! >.<

Jerlene · 09-12-2007

So I was scammed for the first time last week.

I went into my PP account and saw that I had NO money. I went to the site that took my money and it wasn't even in English, nor have I ever visited it before. Why would I? I don't understand the website. Also, they took my money in British Pounds, a currency I do NOT use.
They drained my PP account and even went into my bank account.

I immediately contacted PP and within two days I got my money back. They contacted the person that took my money(because I opened a dispute) but they never responded.

Which reminds me, I got my money back but the dispute is still "Open". Can I withdraw the money or do I need to wait for the dispute to be "Closed"?

Looks like I win! I just got an email from PP:

Quote:

Any portion of the payment that was funded with your credit card will be
refunded directly to your credit card. You will see this in your
transaction log as two entries. The first is the refund to your PayPal
account, and the second is the credit to your credit card. Credits to a
credit card generally take 2-3 business days to post and may not be
immediately reflected in the card's balance.

For additional information and to see the status of your claim, please log
