This may b a little long, but i beg all senior paypal users to read this. Your time can help me a lot. i will call my accounts as paypal1 , paypal2, paypal3, paypal4. i was having only 2 accounts, paypal1 ( premier ) and paypal2 ( personal ) this is a currency exchange scam someone has done with me outside of dpf. back to my case. he wanted to send me $620 paypal and $600 egold in return. i gave him $600 egold. but i had made a new paypal id ( paypal3 premier) to accept his paypal payment because i suspected it might be a frauded payment. hence i wanted to cut down the risks of chargebacks by transfering money and closing my (paypal3 ) . i transfered the money to (paypal1) and closed the (paypal3) . to my belief the only mistake i have made is here : " in the firefox window tab which said " your account is now closed, in the same window, i tried to login with (paypal1) . i logged in without deleting cookies, changing ip, or in a fresh firefox tab. hence paypal could trace me down. i withdrew money from paypal1 immediately via paypal cheque. the last i saw was " cheque issued " next day paypal puts a case on (paypal1) . so i had received a hacked payment definitely. even after cheque issued, there was a case of "unauthorised transaction " ... although the cheque status is still issued. i discussed with friends about the situation, and paypal also wanted quite a few documents which i do not have. hence i decided to open a new (paypal4) i did some earning, and withdrew via xoom. a few days later, thats today i got a call from paypal asking me how many accounts i have. i said " i have two accounts, one is limited (paypal1) and hence i have upgraded (paypal2) to premier account " they asked tell me your paypal id which is limited. i said (paypal1) they said u hav another account (paypal4) ... i declined that i have (paypal4). coz i had used false phone number to register (paypal4) .. i kept delining , they asked have you done any xoom transactions lately, i said "no " because i declined paypal4 to be my id. they asked if i knew a phone number having the last 4 digits of what i had added in paypal4, i said i dont know that, i am not the owner of paypal4. she said " ok then i will limit pypal4. and yes paypal 4 is now limited. they said whats the other account u have apart frm paypal1, i said paypal2. they said ok fine. i said " may i know from where are u calling " she said "for security i cant disclose that." i believe i have posted all that i felt was necessary for me to post. now my questions : 1. am i screwed ? out of 100 how much am i safe and how much screwed ? 2. how would i win the situation ? i am an honest man and will clear up the $500 even though it means a loss to me. my paypal reputation is more than 40. i want to change the negative balance in paypal by uploading some money. but neither can i receive money nor can i send. it is that way my acc is limited. how the fuck can i pay someone when i cant put money to my paypal ? 3. lastly i believe i have two options. a) sit back and watch ( which i dont want to do ) , and b) clear the case and enjoy even if it means $500 loss. but i dont want to giv my documents to paypal when my situation is so dicey. 4. wats the maximum paypal can do with me ? i request you earnestly to read all what i have posted above and post your views, opinions and answers to 1,2&3. i will be greatful to dpf if the case is solved. my paypal rep of 40+ is far more imp to me than $500. but apparently looks like i am screwed. Thank you for your time and help
Sorry to say this but the money has gone :-( If the money has been sent from a hacked account of course the legit accountholder will get back his money. And because you already sent the e-gold and PP won´t loose any money in this case you are the one who has to get the account in positive balance again. NEVER do exchanges with this amount with only 1 person if you have to exchange some money. Just split it and do different exchanges so you won´t be scammed the whole amount in worst case. Again, sorry for your loss
Yup your money is pretty much gone now. Never do currency exchanges with just anybody. Find reputable members or companies to do business with.
There exists no company doing this type of exchange "legally" as it is against PP`s TOS. Also they would be bankrupt within shortest time because of chargebacks. So any website stating they do this kind of exchange is 100% scam and you should stay away from it. So you have to search for a "trusted" person to exchange if you need this done but you have to know it´s against PP´s TOS and your account may become limited if anything like exchange is mentioned in PP memo
