Just got scammed $110

Well I just got scammed through PayPal for $110...and now all my money is gone...

I filed a claim 5 minutes after I sent the payment because I knew he scammed me as soon as he just signed off after I sent the payment. I called PayPal. The lady was really nice but couldn't give me anything about him or the case...

I really hope that I can get this back. This was my only money for an investment. Gawd I hate scammers, and worst I hate PayPal scammers!

 

Was it someone from DP? If so, please expose him immediately.

 

No it was another individual at a different forum..

 

Would you mind telling us what happened? So if the same modus operandi or some sort of variation comes along everyone gets alerted.

 

Yeah, what did he sell to you?

 

Yeah... if you tell us what happened we can guard ourselves... or even help you (if we've had the same guy)!

 

pl inform more details about the scamming inciden, so that other DP members can learn from your experience

 

Yes, please let us know who it is. We may be able to help you if we are a member at the other forum you were a victim at.

 

and why did u sign off without giving the details.

 

I personally would glad to know what really happened and who is the scammer too. At least that will help us and who knows as iBBnet said we might be able to help you back.

Anyway, hope you are not too sad about the incident.

 

I also happen to be on other forums so if in case I know such person I could at least I could do something.

Anyway we have to learn from these mistakes..

Tsk tsk tsk .. this thread reminds me of that Nigerian Scam thread again.

 

Go on, dish the dirt
We all wanna hear what happened.

 

Yeah! what happend?

 

You really should tell what is the scam so that more people won't be fooled too...

 

Sorry to hear that...
I agree expose them so that others will now what to do.
Tell us...

 

I got food poisoning at a restaurant once .... but I'm not telling you where!!!

what a stupid post!
at least tell us what the scam was (even if you don't divulge the culprit)

 

If you get scammed on Paypal, you are pretty much guaranteed that you will get your money back.

I sell virtual goods on my site, and sometimes people will tell paypal that they didn't recieve the files (just to be ass holes) and paypal will always side with the buyer and send them their money back.

 

In your dreams... it depends who scams. I got burn on eBay once and once with a 'service'. I didn't get a single cent back even with a certified copy of email chains Paypal played dumb and stuck with the seller - they are big sellers generating a bunch of PayPal fees.

 

I think this fella just want to experiment with this thread only.. no futher explanation given whatsoever.
