Unfortunately i sent the money to him under the "family and friends" feature. PayPal doesn't provide any protection for those transactions. I called them and they told me to talk to my bank. He knew enough to request I send the money that way (I'll give it to him, he's a professional scumbag at least). My only recourse is to talk to my bank. I have the guy's/his brother's name, through the PayPal transaction. I just don't know how far I'm willing to take this over 60$. I was thinking at least I can get this guy IP banned or something? I don't want other (new) people getting screwed over.
Mate,scamming doesn't get anyone's IP banned (atleast around here) and it would be pointless to, since they've a way out using VPN's/TorExit Nodes.
-You should have bothered to post about the trade.
-From mistakes do we learn,you're good to go.
Btw that account has 100 other accounts on the forum scamming newbies like you on regular basis.Not his fault completely,you guys fall for it!
