Title: Buying $20 Worth of Bitcoins through Paypal Post by: forceuser on November 13, 2011, 04:50:31 PM I can verify my account through eBay or reddit if you'd like.
Thanks. Title: Re: Buying $20 Worth of Bitcoins through Paypal Post by: Gabi on November 13, 2011, 05:02:27 PM Scam detected.
Verifying is useless. Title: Re: Buying $20 Worth of Bitcoins through Paypal Post by: forceuser on November 13, 2011, 05:04:10 PM How is it useless? If I have multiple transactions with 100% on my eBay account, wouldn't that make me seem like a legitimate buyer? I've also traded and given away video games on reddit.

Chargeback and the scam is done. No way to get the bitcoin back then of course. Title: Re: Buying $20 Worth of Bitcoins through Paypal Post by: forceuser on November 13, 2011, 05:10:45 PM Useless. Chargeback and the scam is done. No way to get the bitcoin back then of course. Well I'd like to buy normally through some other means, but I didn't realize that PayPal is such a taboo method of payment before I transferred $120 to my account on there. I'd also be up for gifting a Steam game for BTC, there's no way I could take that back. Title: Re: Buying $20 Worth of Bitcoins through Paypal Post by: Gabi on November 13, 2011, 05:13:15 PM I'm not saying you are a scammer, i'm saying that 99% of the time paypal is used to buy bitcoins, it's a scam. So keep your eyes open if someone want to buy bitcoins with paypal
The scammer pay with paypal and receive BTC. Then do a chargeback and have back the money AND he also have the btc. This of course do not apply only to paypal, it's the same with a lot of other way to pay. |
