This guy really makes the case to bring back getting paddled in school. Young people don't realize that people outside of their little comfort zone can dramatically impact their lives (for the worse).

I just filed a complaint on ic3.gov also, hopefully he gets what's coming to him. Poor kid probably doesn't even know his credit is going to be screwed by PayPal and is now going to be investigated by the FBI.

Internet fraud is a BIG crime. A Felony. Some people think nothing of it when they attempt to scam people.
"oh they'll never catch me, I'm on the internet". Little do they know. In these instances (dsire4u and DubbsLuvs8s) they both left big simple to follow trails leading right to them.
Good luck dsire4u and DubbsLuvs8s.

Why?

You bought something you didn't get....simple..that's why we pay 18+ % on credit card interest

( or so they tell us )

Sorry, to hear about your problem being a fellow canuck, if it's the same guy and I'm sure it is. Ran into to him on a few post, he's a condescending PR generally trying to start a fight. Sorry to say but you should of done more research on the person, from my experience people like him are better just to avoided. Buy anything online sure has it's up and down, but keep the faith most ppl's on the club seem fair and not out to scam anyone (generally a good bunch). Hope paypal gives you a full refund!
But it's the like old adage: buyer beware. We a been screw online at least once, maybe twice. ah three times. I'm a sucker for punishment just keep going back. lol

I just called my bank and PayPal.

My bank said I can file a complaint and get my money back from PayPal, but PayPal may file a grievance against me.

So I called PayPal and talked to their security team and the guy said "If you have the option of something like that, go ahead and do it" He also said "our collection team is going after him right now"

So I'll be filing my paperwork to dispute that transaction within a couple days, and hopefully have my money back in the next few weeks.

Good to note: I didn't pay with a credit card, it went through as an eft, but my bank will treat it the same way. (they asked if I had any other disputes, which I don't, but it makes me think there is a limit on how many you can do).

Looks like we'll all come out on top of this one.
