I don't know if this is the right board for this thread. If not, please make a suggestion and I'll move it.
I sold some BTC to a couple of Kenyan scammers on Localbitcoins.com. I verified their IDs, and everything looked cool, so I followed through with the transaction. They used credit cards to pay through PayPal. One of the scammers wanted a lot of bitcoin, but she could only send $50 - $100 max, so she submitted 11 transactions. Like a fool I just went along with it.
Several days later both of them submit disputes, they even submitted multiple disputes for the same transaction. I wasn't able to respond to the disputes through paypal's web interface, so I called them. I sent an email to them with all the receipts and transaction communications that I downloaded from Localbitcoins. They reversed one of the transactions, but all the rest are going against my account.
Yesterday I got an email saying I need to pay that money or it will go to collections. I don't have any sock puppet paypal accounts, this is my legit account with my real name, bank account, credit card, and SSN attached. I don't feel like I should be held accountable for this shit!
What can I do? Thanks for your help.
