    Be careful of the links: veterinarian-pages.com and chiropractor-pages.com - scammer take advantage of Paypal.

    The owner submitted these two websites veterinarian-pages.com and chiropractor-pages.com to 3 directories of mine and his websites was approved month ago and a week ago I received 2X3=6 unauthorized charge backs of Paypal.

    I don't care the money but Wasting me a lot of time to reply to Paypal.

    Just a warning message to other directories owners who might receive these 2 links. Rejection might save you some time.

    new update:, I lost the cases and paypal not only reverse the money but also deducts $10X6 =$60 fee. Quite bad...

    I read several posts about scamming and you have mentioned you can't get scammed any more. Could you share with us your methods?

    PayPal charge back scams are getting more and more popular. I think, I've seen 5 threads lately talking about how someone bought something and filed a dispute. They end up keeping the product and getting their money back.

    I think PayPal needs to improve their dispute process.

    I am using PayPal for last 3-4 years and saw that in 95% cases buyer wins and seller looses the case. PayPal give minimum security to sellers. Too bad.

    You keep bragging but don't state how. What's the point of posting if you don't care to help/share your method.

    He is just indirectly promoting his $60 ebook. He hasn't contributed anything useful to any of the posts.

    Pevert, if you really want to sell then you must provide some proof that you offer a reliable product instead of just claiming it. Remember these people just got scammed and why the hell would they trust your claims.
