just want to share with all of you about my experience with NMoney i have make a deal with him to create ePassporte Gift Account and Funded it with $30. He paid me $37 using paypal ($7 fee for Gift Account + $30 load his account) everything is ok until i got messages from paypal and here is one of the message : Dear .........., One of the benefits of using PayPal is that we make every effort to alert you to potentially problematic transactions. Our goal is to help you make sound business decisions. A review of recent transactions indicates that you may have received an unauthorized payment. This means that the PayPal account holder may not have authorized the payment you received. We would like to learn more about this transaction. Please log in to your PayPal account and provide some information. We strongly advise that you not ship the item until our investigation is complete. If you have already shipped the item, please log in and let us know where you shipped it. We have placed a temporary hold on the funds until the investigation is complete. ----------------------------------- Transaction Details ----------------------------------- Transaction Date: Jan 1, 2008 Transaction Amount: -$7.00 USD Your Transaction ID: 1PD131689T694560E Buyer's Transaction ID: 58A75612SF357453X Case Number: PP-397-960-614 Buyer's Name: edna cohen Buyer's Email: patty50@bellsouth.net Response deadline: 1/13/2008 - Log in to your PayPal Account. Sincerely, PayPal Code (markup): paypal still hold the money until now and I dont know whats next hope this is not happen to another DP Member who have make a deal with him
he used a stolen paypal. you arent going to get to keep that money. try contacting ePassporte and see if they can cancel the card, tell them it was stolen from you
That doesn't mean he used a stolen paypal, simply means he said it was unauthorized and is doing a chargeback. Sorry about thsi guy, has happened to me before
This is common way for hacker to gain ...... with the Paypal account. Echoes of past examples , thankfully , now are designated as Freebies , to be less than $5 (should be less than $10 USD I.M.O.)
I think you are wrong hhyosong22, scammer Alert!!! must be in Buy, Sell or Trade forum because all members trade here and maynot see general forum so if it were here, they wouldn`t trade with scammers
you are right hellfire81 but such this scammers alert in this section helped me not to deal I never go to general chat.
Maybe it should ... I was just trying to say he'll get an infraction for posting in the wrong section. Thanks for clearing this up!
When you do big deals with someone you should use forum search option to see if there is scam alerts or something else.
i know my post is in wrong sections but its better to warn members at the place when i got scammed never mind about got infractions as long as no other members will get scammed again here by NMoney
Thanks for letting us know. it has happened to me 2-3 times! This is the risk that the sellers need to take, sadly.. Paypal doesnt have any seller protection.
IMHO this belongs in buy sell trade. I only use DP spy and I only watch the BST folders. If this wasn't in this section I'd never know.
Rules are, it belongs in General Chat. As far as the scam, trading money is always risky and you should know by now the risk. You also dealt with someone who has been only on DP for less than a month. Consider this a $30 life lesson and remember, when dealing in risky questionable trades, you are responsible for what happens. *Thinking DP should ban money trading*
I see the EXACT same copy of this thread EVERY week here on DP. anyone else notice this? I have only gotten this email from paypal once, but can resite it completely becuase of threads like this. dude, there are scammers out there, and there going to scam you. you may losse $5 or $10 bucks every once and awile, but your going to have to deal with it. leave a bad itrader, and contact the mods. dont post a thread. (or atleast thats what i think)
When this happened to me not to long ago, I just blogged all about it, gave him a neg itrader, won my paypal dispute and now I will wait a good month before I update my blog. Besides now I will rank like number 1 for his name To me well worth the $27
