I need som of ur guys's help and advice. So, Yesterday i sold item in a game and got paid thru paypal. I sold stuff for about 450$. I sent the money over to my brothers bank acc since im only 17 and can't send money to my bank acc. I removed the CC from my paypal the after 2-3 hours. Next morning i wake up and i see that my balance is -450$. I had only my Real name info. My number was on paypal but i changed the 4 digit numbers. The adress i typed in is only the area where i live. Not the exact adress. Now my question is. I am obviously not looking to pay back the 450$ since i got scammed. What can paypal do against me? I live in Sweden if that matters. What are the consequences? Can they send people to my house? If i dont pay the 450$, will it affect me in the future? Is there any chance they'll sue me or take me to court. I heard some stuff about agency and shit. Thanks for the help. I truly appreciate it.
You have lied to PayPal when you opened your account You tell us you are in Sweden but your IP says you are in Jordan You "obviously" aren't going to pay PayPal because they trusted you and you, in turn, trusted someone who turned out to be a con. They probably won't sue you for the $450 You credit rating will probably be black balled, for life, across all financial institutions, but that's ok because now is all that matters, right?
You're a minor, so you don't have a credit score yet I think you're free. Under some laws in some countries, minors can't make contracts... so the one who is screwed over is paypal. In other words, the contract was always never there, so they can't really sue or destroy your credit.
But when do i know if im getting sued? and how do i know if they are sending agency? and how do i know if im free or not
Your country (Sweden, Jordan or somewhere else) will have a limit on how long they can leave suing you. It'll be something like 7 years. So if they don't contact you before then you will know that you are home free.
Yep, have fun keeping your head down for 7 years so you don't attract their attention. No new bank accounts No credit cards No personal loans No student loans No hire purchase 7 years will fly past, right? That's assuming that it's 7 years in whatever country it is that you live in.
