    Beware of this guy who is also a member of digital point.

    email
    digital point ID: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/member.php?u=88029

    First i wanted to buy $300 card from him, so he said he accepts paypal and i sent him the money. After that the next day i got a refund, he said his paypal account has problems but he can introduce me to a friend who can sell it to me.

    The e-mail i was given then was . So i sent this person an email and got a reply, was told to send the money to his/her paypal account which is almost 1 year old. I trusted them because i have bought an $60 card from before and got it. Never knew he wanted to scam my $300 this time..

    I have since then never gotten a reply from either of them. I am doing a chargeback in paypal and hope i get my money back.

    Sorry to hear that man....Scams on DP have definitely been on the rise as of late.

    I think paypal will refund your money tho. Hopefully.

    Yea, the sooner you report it to paypal and file a claim, the better chances of getting your money back for sure.

    I have submitted the dispute, and he has not responded. Tomorrow is the 10th day and once it reaches the 10the day and the seller does not respond, paypal automatically will be in favour of me and return my money. Just hope the money is still there..

    yeah, hope you get the money back, but be prepared to wait; paypal can be quite slow
