Well this is officially first time when I got scammed over net in 3years! I still can't believe that this happened Yesterday guy named compules posted here a thread that he is looking for methods http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?p=7617443 , all looked fine he had 32itraders and I didn't had any worries that something like this could happen! He sent me $150 via paypal and I sent him my method, but today what I see... He have made a chargeback against me, Unauthorized access to his paypal account, looks like I can't do anything about this as you know how paypal works... There isn't any chance to get your money back if you sell a digital product and buyers pays through creditcard , paypal have always supported scammers! here is another thread where he have scammed someone (which of course I didn't saw yesterday) http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=824161 So BEWARE OF that fraudster COMPULES , you can't even trust to high-itrader users these days...
What Paypal info did he use? You may want to swap notes with these guys: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?p=7623100 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=822758

http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=799489&page=3 He has changed his username 3 times already, why isnt IP able to block this??? Felics-->Compules-->Italian Company--> Who knows who else he is? I have talked to the guy who has my domains now from the previous thread and he was nice, but doesn't want to give 'em back. Makes sense, but Im really mad!
Thats possibly because summers have arrived and people need money for air conditioning I've an eBook ready which lists how to avoid scams. Although you guys are experts, but it might still help you. PM me if you want a copy, the eBook is free of cost and royalty free.
Hope they got scammed too. Damn losers always trying to make money doing bad things on the net. Hayz Marcher I think I need your eBook.
Thats my story and repsonse to claim opened by this member!! lets see what paypal has to say now cuz I'm surely gonna sue Paypal if they are going to take that amount off of my account..
Instead of whining I think we should all learn from these incidents: if you choose to use PayPal for that sort of transaction, WAIT ONE WEEK (or two ) before sending anything to the buyer so that the payment clears. One week might look long but it's actually nothing. I'd be wary of anyone wanting to buy me something "AS SOON AS POSSIBLE I NEED IT NOW OR THE SKY IS GOING TO FALL ON ME !!!!" This should prevent scammers from using hacked accounts.
Wow, just Realize that so many Scammers in this Forum, I just Got Scammed and Lost $305 from one Guy, and [URL="http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=935202]All of the Stolen Domain[/URL] still under his account. Really bad!
Not sure how it works in other countries, but I got scammed a while ago with a paypal reversal. So what I did was go down to the local courts here in Australia and placed a small claims court case against the scammer and paypal. It was amazing how fast Paypal paid the money back into my account. The case never got a chance to be heard once the summons was delivered to paypal.
