i only joined because i dont use bitcoins normally but ive come across something in my internet travels that only allows payment via bitcoins. not a scam. just want this over with Title: Re: I give you 20$ Moneypak - you pay $9.99 via bitcoin Post by: Handle on October 09, 2012, 07:34:08 PM If you send the moneypak money first (e. g. via paypal) some reputable member may help you, otherwise the chance that you are getting help is very low as bitcoins can't be charged back and it's generally a bad idea to trust a newbie without any further intel and securities.
Personally I think this sounds a lot like scam. Why should someone give away 10$ if he could just load his prepaid credit card or paypal account with moneypak and buy bitcoins?

We'll see how things go, but I have the money in my paypal account now. Chargeback in 3..2..1..A consumer can't initiate a MoneyPak chargeback, but a report of fraud can cause Green Dot to ask for the receipt proving you bought the MoneyPak yourself. There's a piece of malware going around (FBI MoneyPak virus) where your system is held hostage until you pay off the ransom with a MoneyPak. I can imagine the authorities working with Green Dot where they have some MoneyPak codes that will be accepted but because they were obtained through fraudulent means would later be reversed.
