Ok 10 days ago i brought somthing for £25 using PP from a hacking forum. the v.i.p seller has very good feedback and over 1k posts. today i got a refund from same PP email plus private message through the site saying hes got issues with his paypal account. and if i can send the money to another off his account. due lot scams happing around this month i thought i would ask your advice. i know it could be nothing but i am confused:Mad2: Thanks
Am i being Scammed (paypal)
- Thread starter 2old4this
- Start date
Personally, I would be wary.
What ^^^ he says.......................
Because he has not sent the goods and if he didn't paypal would claw back from him .Using another payment method might not give the buyer protection.
Seems a bit too complicated just to scam somebody of 25 quid tbh,you lot are fierce paranoid

£25 x lots of people = nice little earner
There are so many loopholes M8.
1 - Is the item 'eligible'?
2 - Are you paying FROM a Paypal account?
3 - Does it not sound like a 'bait and switch' scam?
4 - Why does the seller have a problem? Does that not sound worrying?
5 - It's the time of year to collect an extra 'bonus' (for scammers)
It could be genuine, it's only £25 but they wouldn't be getting my money.
BTW, I reckon Paypal rejected the payment, not the seller
Oh, maybe he couldn't get his card out of the way in time lol
@wiz569 - never lost a penny on Paypal since it started, happy paranoid me

Loopholes blah blah blah,Victor is that you
Sometimes you have to take a bigger look at the world m8,yes there are many scammers out there,but not everybody is,
this guy is apparently a VIP on a "certain" site,with great feedback and over 1,000 posts,whats the chance he wants to fook all that up over £25?
Anyway its up to you OP,I suppose it depends on how much you want the item and how much of a bargain it is
p.s. Its not me and I dont know him either
i happy with service i payed for. i only puzzled as to why he refund me and ask me to send money to another PP. I have emailed him told him that i will send the payment of around £27 that should covers his PP fees. payment will not be as Gift but as Goods that will give me PP protection in case of any wrong doing. So i wait for his reply
