Thank you for your kind and unexpected gesture in your mail. However, you replied to the wrong email. This one has already been answered weeks ago. The newer one(s) are relevant. You should be able to find my shortest resend sent on 09.08.2011 14:56 (CEST) if you want to save time reading.

Are your helping hands still on holiday? I'm now waiting for 3 weeks for an email reply.

I perfectly understand that you have a lot of work with responses to emails, but if you have a backlog of 14 days of emails it would at least be nice to tell everyone in the queue that it may take a while longer. I am currently feeling ignored, with no response at all. I'd like to do my own investigations in my scam case, but I cannot without additional information from you, and the more time passes, the harder things get. With a reply to my email from July 22nd (that even had "urgent" in the subject), I'd be able to tell whether the Paypal account holder is the scammer or not, and take further legal actions if he is.

I am also one of those who got scammed 4 weeks ago. I sent an email to BitMarket support to report the scam and also got the IP and the ebay account used for verification as reply. They told me they would ask some of the ebay account's trade partners to see if the Paypal account owner is the same as the ebay account owner. But this was also the last thing I heard from BitMarket...

The scammer is from my country, so I went to the police and reported the fraud case. I have the Paypal account owner's address and I have the IP of the scammer, but they also need a timestamp to be able to get the information of who owned that IP. So, I asked BitMarket for a timestamp and some other things that might proof that the Paypal account holder is lying about his "hacked" account. Unfortunately, I am already waiting for 2 weeks for a reply. I also resent the email a couple of days later in case it got lost, and also sent a PM through this forum to Mahkul one week ago, but he didn't reply, even though he was online here almost every day... ISPs here store IP<->customer assignments only for about one week, so the opportunity to find the scammer by his IP is gone by now. Fortunately, I was able to get the scammer to open a prepared email and got another timestamp from him that I could report to the police. However, I am still waiting for a reply from BitMarket with more information that might be helpful to find the scammer or proof that the Paypal account holder is the scammer.

Luckily, I was not dumb enough to leave the money on the Paypal account, but transferred it to my bank account before sending the BTC, as I knew that PayPal would not care whether the transaction is ligit from my side no matter what proof they get from me. So, it all looks like they lost themselves a customer and some bucks by supporting a scam.

Nonetheless, I'd still like to see a reply to my email. I'd also like to get in contact with others who got scammed, especially with those where a .de email address is involved and/or who are from Germany to gather more information and raise the success probability of the police investigation. So, if you are a another victim, feel free to send me a PM.

Someone apparently didn't even read the list of fees.

I've been reading the forums for quite a few months. Didn't have the need for a account, but decided to join recently.

Your proof is worth nothing for Paypal. They always charge the money back if someone claims his account was "hacked" and you will get an automatic email telling you to fix your negative balance, thus actually helping the scammer. I'm currently going through that process. You will find numerous threads here and elsewhere about it. If you want to be sure to get your money and keep it, don't use Paypal, never.

Yay for fighting spam by annoying all regular users...
