    I would do that. They sound like jerks, try to get people who sent the money to call paypal and complain and say it was a scam. It will get them in trouble if more than 2 call in.

    That is why it is said that you should not trust any one.

    There really isn't much you can do unfortunately, especially if Paypal doesn't allow you to use their services and you still did, via a friend's Paypal account.

    I'm sorry to hear about the problems you are experiencing, but perhaps in the future you should stick with other processors where you are able to manage and control your own account.

    You should say "Online friend" Friend is someone whom you know better not only online but also in real.

    So Online friend have cheated you so do not trust online friends

    There is no need to say that! We are not ALL perfect!

    Sorry to hear you were scammed, i would say never trust anyone you have never met before!
    Worse if they stay in a different country!

    'I send money to my friend who is in UK' <--- what does that mean ? did u send it thru ur paypal ? or did u mentioned his paypal id directly for the payment. In later case u can not do anything.. For former, if u send it from one paypal to another, then u can open a dispute, and his that were send by him to his PP ac funds will be kept at held till the matter resolves.

    For details, chat me on yahoo, i can try to solve this out.

    Cheers!

    I feel very sorry of what happened to you but there's really NOTHING you can do right now to recover your money. You know that. Just work "SMARTER" next time. Just take it as valuable lesson and as a buisness loss. It makes YOU wiser and a better businessman next time.

    BTW, I think this "SCAM REPORTING" type thread aren't allowed here on the payment processing section here on DP. Please re-read this policy http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=440019

    Good luck to you

    I don't really think there is much you can do about it... Just learn from this, and be careful in the future..

    I am sorry for your loss. 150 pounds is a lot of money, although you can't do anything about it now. Learn from your mistake and cheer up! Money comes and goes and I am sure your'll make more than you lost today :)
