What Happened?
This user sells different accounts.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=881508.0
I bought a DirecTV account from him, and he did not give me the account.
He has been doing this to many users, as you can see from the comments made on page 2 of his post.

should've used escrow, but yes it does seem like many people are having the same issue with this seller.

at least you can perhaps open a dispute on paypal since you paid with that method. you probably wont get your money back since paypal doesn't protect buyers for digital goods/services but if he gets enough disputes from all the ppl he scammed then his account might get locked.

He asked me to send the money as a gift, so I am not able to dispute the transaction.

very unfortunate then. looking at the thread it seems like he was planning on scamming as much as you can anyway.

in the future an escrow would likely help prevent this type of fraud.

What??? you never payed me $30. You only payed $8. That is one lie. Wait two days and I will try to get you the account. I'm in a serious condition. Therefore, I will try to get all the account, for all the customers that bought from me. Give me two days. If you don't receive the account within two days, you can report me to the admin.

You have already been reported.
Also I did pay you $30.
I have showed proof.

I have waited long enough, you have said this numerous times.

Are you trying to pull the "I'm in hospital/seriously ill" card...? Or something similar, just not with illness?

Either way, the guy is sketchy. Until this is resolved I wouldn't buy accounts from him.
