    Hi,

    Today when i check my paypal this morning.I was shocked to see that $300 from my Unverified paypal account was sent to another unknown unverified paypal account...I got tensed and now i opened "unauthorized transaction" in paypal...

    Also he sent the cash by selecting the option "Goods"

    Since both me and the scammer are both unverified :( Will i get back my cash?

    Do plz write an honest review..I dont wanna hear now advises like "paypal sucks" and stuffs like that...

    PLZ HELP ME TO RESOLVE MY PROBLEM...AND DONT ADVISE ME TO CONTACT PAYPAL SUPPORT..ALL I NEED IS SOME USEFUL ADVISE B4 CONTACTING THEM..I WILL CONTACT THEM AFTER SEEING SOME GREAT REPLIES HERE. :)

    WILL PAYPAL REFUND ME MY CASH EVEN IF I AM UNVERIFIED?

    Thank you

    Well, Since PayPal always supports buyer so, I am sure you will get it.
    Just call them now and tell them your situation. :)
    And also change the passwords and security questions of your Paypal account.

    well ur best bet is to call paypal and let them know that there was an unauthorized transaction. Normally they trace the ip from which normallly ur account is used. If its diffrent then its surely unauthorized and they will reverse it.

    Not sure about this but maybe paypal ask you to provide address proof and identity proof of yours.

    I suggest you to give them a phone call and sort out your issue quickly as email thingy takes longer time sometimes.

    DON.

    You will be asked for a proof. Government ID or any valid id.
    You can call them for fast support.

    Personal interaction is the best way to get your case attended by Paypal immediately. If you are averse to calling them, you can then wait for their action as against your unauthorized claim.

    Generally, they are known to take the side of the buyer or the victim and hence you are most likely to get back your money.

    I strongly suggest you to verified your PP account now.
    And then later contact PP about the illegal transaction and ask them to check the IP log during the transaction.
