Studious Damon Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I'm at work so I can write a short summary only. I traded with an Indonesian a knife for PayPal several times. He paid my in different accounts with $85 each time. I made a total of 8 transactions equaling to $700 in charge backs (or so). Turns out the accounts were hijacked and 4 of them charged back (-$325). The Indonesian told me he'll contact the police. I sent an email to PayPal explaining it and how I won't be able to pay it off if they get charged back. While I was snowboarding a woman from the debt department called me and threatened that I had to pay within a week. I think someone punted her cunt because she was a total bitch and didn't listen. What are my chances of not being rip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyy Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 well aside from the fact that you ignored warning signs from an obvious scammer -indonesian -paid in different accounts -"he'll contact the police" also i wouldnt believe they got "hijacked" and he'll "contact the police". youre fucked unless you pay lol. i got chargebacked once, not much like 50 bucks and all i did was add money to the account to zero out the balance and closed it forever.

While I doubt he'll talk to the police about it, the accounts were stolen. All of them were name accounts, the last one a business account. Which is the first of the charge backs. I can probably pay off $100, but not $700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkle Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Not sure I understand. He charged back? If he charged back and you gave him the items, he'd be digging himself a hole if he called the police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Sel♥ <☼> Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Indonesian and wants to pay with different accounts. Alarm bells, anyone? If you now have a negative paypal balance you'll have to pay that. Paypal doesn't give a fuck about your excuses. Other than that I dont quite understand what happened. How it happened to people I know: > you give guy the virtual item > he sends money > he tells paypal/ his bank he never got the virtual item > he gets his money back = you get chargebacked Have fun "discussing" with paypal. Don't expect anything to come from it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, these were stolen accounts, and if he somehow managed to make an alt based off an actual business then he's the one who'll have a tough time explaining himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
