http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=707458&page=2&highlight=felics

So after reading that, im really scared that he will open paypal dispute any momemt...now what can i do as a proactive measure?anybody please help...he paid 85$ and i dont want to lose that money

 

If you have all the proof regarding your coversation with him, the GoDaddy transaction details, You wouldn't have a problem! If by any chance a Paypal dispute opens, show them the proofs and you are safe!.. Don't worry..

If u read some topics here at DP, lots of people sayed not to use paypal as payment methoed. if use soon relese them from your current account to another.

this is not the first scam with LLLL.com, just another one
Try to conact godaddy & paypal, they might help you
but u have only 30% chance to get back your LLLL.com or $

Learn a leson & also use differnt payment method or stay away from selling domains for a while

 

Contact PayPal and point them to this thread, That may help.

 

yup.. thats true.. Though it would be better you transfer funds n close that account down..
hehe.. just kidding.. Just be truthful cause u have proof dude..

 

he payed by credit card linked with paypal...he can open either unauthorized transaction/paypal dispute...he has not opened it yet...it has been 12 hours...meanwhile he got banned at DP...so im waiting with fingers crossed for him to open dispute/unauthorised transaction

so any brilliant idea to move the money or something even if i have to close the paypal account...its a verified premier paypal account with a linked credit card

any help people?

 

Well, I would suggest contacting Paypal before he does a chargeback but dont close your account.

 

Going by the llll.com scam threads around there is little that godaddy can do to save the domain. Transferring the money to another account may not help as paypal can freeze both the accounts.

Just stick firm and deal only with sedo/escrow. You may see some high offers dissapear but they could be scammers as well. But you get peace of mind and wont get scammed.

Secondly reputation on DP does not mean that those people will not scam. There is always a first time.

 

how to contact godaddy / paypal? which is the best method?

you have any direct numbers/email etc etc?

 

They have a sales/support num listed at the top right half of their homepage. Better write an email as it is more formal and you have them as records for the future if needed.

 

phone nno. (480) 505-8877
email - https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/support_submit_question.asp?isc=cjctdnamt1&app_hdr=&ci=2200

cashout ur paypal money , opening a paypal dispute wont harm you unless you want to use that account again (especially if you are indian

 

I really pity those u are scammed
BTW its better to do a little background research on someone u are dealing with.
Scammers don't have sentiments, I guess they are brought up like that by their parents.

 

Never use paypal again when selling domains,just stick to Moneybookers,escrow,sedo,moniker.

 

Some banks that you would use to transfer money to and from will also be able to block paypal from any chargebacks without proper proof. If you disclose threads like this to them and prepare them ahead of time, it may help. Expain what is happening with the fraud and paypal allowing bogus chargebacks. They hate fraud. If enough banks get enough complaints on paypals business practices or lack of, maybe they will pull support and block paypal activities through thier bank.

That might get paypals attention. I had a chargeback a couple of years ago. Nightmare to say the least and even with an email with the culprit admitting the scam, I never received my $135 back.

Good luck to all of you that have problems and those that are about to. Highly recommend and escrow service for now.

i mailed godaddy about this,but they replied saying they could not do anything about it

the scammer has not issued a chargeback/dispute yet...

anyway 85$ is lot of money for me so i trasfered the money out and closed the paypal account

hope the scammer can never touch me now!!!

but sad that my paypal account is gone anyway better than losing 85$ ...what you say people ?

 

you have done your best, quit PayPal as they don`t protect sellers of "non tangible items"

Have a read here to learn something:

a lot of people dont have that luxury though.... my paypal account is probably worth $30,000 to $40,000 a year to me.... but losing $500 or $600 is REALLY annoying....
