    I dont know about other people but it seems like certain niches for people who order services are online are scammers this year... Ive noticed these steroid related clients they order services from me. The first time I just thought they were a new customer they ordered about $200 from me I did all the work as usual and 2 weeks later paypal reversed the charge... Even after providing to paypal work done and conversation with the client in the past this has worked for me and i kept the funds. Which means more then likely they probably stole someone's paypal then paid for their site using their funds... And it happened about 2 months later, different name some type of website... but this time paypal held the funds within 48 hours. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed scammers ordering for these pharmacy/steroid type sites for web services.

    This should be a lesson for you while using PayPal.

    Never use PayPal to receive payments from unreliable clients.

    What ive been doing is if i get an order from one of these type of sites I simply tell them sorry we cant accept payments and do work for these type of sites... which will save me headache in the longrun. Just feel sorry for the people who actually do need services and are real people.

    You can also do one thing. Take money in advance and deliver after 50 days. This is because PayPal dispute works within 40 days only.

    Its after 45 days right? I was thinking something like that as well.. Although oddly enough the second order I got from them its still being held by paypal for like 40 days now or something i wonder if that would count towards that time. With that payment i cant even refund it or anything it went straight to being reviewed.

    Never work for such sites. We use to get most of the spam emails from the online Pharmacy sites and gambling sites. If they can get involved with email phishing then it's too simple that they can cheat you too.

    Once a betrayer is only betrayer. Use RIP OFF site to RIP OFF their business


    All payment processor services have the Buyer & Seller protection option. All you need to ensure the trustable customer.
