Never received my coins or Response from customer service. It also seems that my IP was blocked from their live chat program. I was told transfer would take no longer than 5 min. If you want to check blockchain I was going to have 5 btc sent to a virgin address at 1PZkR9xLb9pqmJXYt6n2GhPVfaQTULDNiU as you can see there has never been any transfers to that wallet address, I figured this would happen but 11.99 was not much to lose to prove a scam to the community.

Log in to paypal and file a dispute against them. The more people that do this, the faster that they get shut down.

Even if thymos doesn't want to hand you a perma-banhammer, I would support a software change in the forum that allows global mods to temporarily ban a user (for an hour or so).
Something needs to be done, cause wasting a bunch of my time deleting spam posts and being annoyed isn't very productive.

And now you will wait 20 days for his non response to the chargeback and only then Paypal will look at it and probably, probably, give you your money back. Congratulations, you just managed to get your funds on a limbo for at least 1 month EDIT: That was fast. Escalate to Paypal resolution right away. Or else you're doomed. Be sure to mention bitcoins to paypal. <--- This could get your account frozen also, be advised

I am not exactly scammed when i know what i am doing, am i? Also that smile implies a joke ;0)
But thats the point.. i suppose a lot of people hold their tongue when seeing those nice prices. Even more important to get his account frozen asap..

I wish Paypal worked more like BTC - I would love to see how much money is flowing into that guy's PP account from this scam.

for every dumb-ass scammed and begs for donations i bet there are 20 who hold their tong.
Is tong slang for penis?

Our family was terrorized by Homeland Security. Read all about it here: http://www.jmwagner.com/ and http://www.burtw.com/ Any donations to help us recover from the $300,000 in legal fees and forced donations to the Federal Asset Forfeiture slush fund are greatly appreciated!

As I mentioned to Cliffton, you need to mention to Paypal (call them and ask for "resolutions" directly) that they are selling an illegal electronic currency which you have learned is against Paypal's TOS. Tell them that you didn't realize that it was against TOS at the time, and that when you bought it, they stopped communicating with you. Post their website, screen shots, receipt etc into the proof section. Within a week, their paypal accounts will be locked down. Problem solved.

Not my first chargeback on Paypal (though the first involving BTC..) and normally the one who is charging back is the winner..

A German dude was already scammed. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=80484.0He close the first chargeback, so no way for him to get the money back on that one, and they were trying to convince him to close the 2nd chargeback also. lol There you have their modus operandi...

Oldest trick in the books: cancel the reversal and they won't be able to file again (or at least that's how it's -supposed- to work).

Going to take 1 hr later to train my Human Emulation bot and spam the hell out of them. Going to fill their shopping cart with unfinished orders using 5 threads at least. It will be funny And I'll make sure to leave a ransom bitcoin address there. If they want the spam to stop they better pay up. In Bitcoin

Wow, i was just told by Paypal - after asking - that although there was a flood of chargebacks they wont charge back anything related to Bitcoins or Virtual Goods at all... Wonder if that telephone guy is right or not.. chargeback still pending
