User coaltin scam me. He was selling Verified Business PayPal Account. I sent money, but didn't get my account.

I said that I don't want to deal with him anymore and I want a refund, but he stopped to respond me.

Unfortunately, I don't think you're going to get your coinsd back. Paypal looks down on people who buy accounts with Bitcoin. You could try disputing the transaction, but as I said PP seldom reverses Bitcoin trades.

Well the matter is about that the trade for account was for A Verified account but the seller gave him a limited paypal account . Well OP it was your own fault that you didn't got yourself an escrow. Most of the scam accusation are result because of no escrow.

I just want to ask is there something like "I will only learn after losing money!!"  that users here think who go out without using an escrow. There are many escrow sites(like bithra)as well as escrows here in bitcointalk and still this king of things happen.  :-[

I don't think most proper escrows would cover cases like these. Paypal accounts are not there to be bought and sold. They are meant to be verifiable to one person or business entity. Their terms and conditions will state this or situations that could cover it. They have pretty advanced tracking systems in place that will figure out what is essentially unauthorised access and shut them down. Just by you logging in probably set off a red flag, sent the account for review and got it closed. Sorry for your loss but it may be a cheap lesson over the long term.

It also seems coaltin did in fact respond to you five days *after* you left him negative trust/feedback http://archive.is/VNrJ3 in a thread where he was selling a PayPal account with $700 credit with deposits under 180 days old. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1510578.0

One month is almost gone, he never replied to my PM and every time I tried to leave a message in his topic he deletes it.

It is against Paypal's TOS to buy or sell these accounts and once found out, they will be closed/frozen. You took a high risk and lost.

And sorry to say this only scammer or people who plan to scam are buying paypal accounts!

If you are legit and honest there is no risk to open yourself once account and using your real info

Am looking back through coaltin's posts.  This may be a photo of him.

"I sent money, but didn't get my account. I left negative feedback for him and after 2 days he sent me account info, but this PayPal account was limited 6 month ago"

I think he has mentioned that he did get his account but it got limited later on.

On a side note,this dude is another alt of coaltin https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=554704 which should negative repped too if in case he doesn't pay back.The connection is established on the main page of mexxer's known alt of users thread.
