Scammed by PayPal

inworx · 03-12-2007

I lost $150 few days before while I was selling egold. He dint get the egold though as I reported him and the account was blocked.

But I lost the $150 from my acount.

PayPal has been failed in protecting their customers from looking money!

He made a reversal...by the bank. I hate these shits!

ouch...that really sucks, you sold egold money with paypal? or bought egold money and sent him $150 via paypal?

I stand to be corrected, but to the best of my knowledge, paypal does not allow online currency exchanges.
In fact, one of my friend's paypal account got frozen for 6 months for doing a similar transaction to yours.
Perhaps that is the reason why you didn't get your money back?

In any case, I think your thread title is rather misleading. It's the counterparty to the transaction who scammed you, not paypal.

you should be aware of the policies of pp before you do any online transaction with it

There are always risks involved in doing online currency exchanges.
Did you try filing a complaint to paypal about this? If no, why not?

What did you do when you didn't receive your money? Thank you for sharing, at least now I know I can't trust paypal for currency exchange.

So you reported a transaction you did after sending the money? lol

I think that was a no-no. If you want to exchange curriencies I think it would be best if you go to a middle man. Someone you both can trust.

You know what's funny / sad. I work in the industry and in fact have worked closely with many of their fraud folks and yet only a month ago, I personally lost $70. There was nothing I could really do. I figured just not worth the effort in fighting it. I guess a lot of people fall into that category.
