Dirty Business Scammer Alert!

Original post is under "Laggy Seller Alert!"

Ok....this is the fast version.

Put up a post for WTB Dell 9300. This guy Shawn emailed me telling me he would sell for 1100. We agreed to send half payment, he would ship, and when I received the lappy I would send the other half. I sent payment and he didn't ship for almost 2 weeks. I then filed a claim with paypal. He then complains to get the hold of so he could buy medicine for his mother (yeah right). I tell him I dont want to do business with him and to send me the money back. Telling him NOT to ship me anything 5 days after the paypal claim he sends shipping info. I then contact FedEx and tell to hold the package and I will come to them. At this point fedex opened the package for me. Now I was expecting something shady from this guy so video taped the entire process of opening the package at FedEx.

He shipped 11.9lbs of paper. Scratch notebook paper!



Now the kewl thing is that the package was refused and they shipped it back so I won my claim with paypal. The horrible thing is that paypal is shady themselves! The ****ers wouldn't give me a refund!

PAYPAL WILL NOT REFUND ANY FUNDS IF YOU ARE A VICTOM OF FRAUD UNLESS YOU BUY FROM A PROTECTED SELLER ON EBAY WITH THE BLUE SHEILD NEXT TO THE PAYPAL EMBLEM.

It gets worse. So paypal tells me that I will receive funds when he gets them in his account! Great but he is negative almost 575.00 because he had drained his account. So I asked paypal. What about collections? Don't you sell his debt and eventually get the money back. They said after 120 day that would happen. So I asked them, "Would I get my money back after collections?" They said, "We would not be able to guarantee that". So basically they let the seller steal 575.00 from me but when they get the funds from him they won't pay me back! So paypal becomes the thieves.

Thanks to Wells Fargo there might be a happy ending to this story. I am awaiting the phone call from there fraud department where the lady I talked to yesterday said I have a great case cause I filed police reports in TX and Georgia. So they will refund my money and take the issue up with paypal. That would be kickass! All I wanted was a freekin lappy and Wells Fargo might help that be a reality.

Now steps have been taken to purse criminal charges against the seller. Charges have been filed in TX where I reside and the information has been sent to the Augusta Georgia Police where the seller resides. Police have the video and pics for evidence as well as all the emails in the first post. This is great, so the police tell me that they will summon the information from paypal about this guy (bank account, SSN, address) and go make an arrest. That would give this story a happy ending.

So look out for a guy called

Say jackass.....if you have half a freekin brain you will be reading this. Run bizzzznitch....hide....do what ever you got to do but the police are lookin for you. 575.00 is alot of money for me to lose in a scam but not alot of money for your dumbass to go to jail over and get your credit pwned!

I think I'm gonna have me a beer!

Hopefully by the end of the day I will be posting that Wells Fargo called and refunded me the cash.

I did a online transaction with a seller that would not use paypal and I just didnt understand why. Now I know because you can get double screwed if your not careful. Not only did the seller scam me but paypal just cleaned us both out!

No problem bro. All I can really get out of this as a learning experience. Plus I hope they make a arrest. Now that would be sweet.

1. Never buy unless you contact them( not them contacting you after you post a WTB add).
2. Get pics, description, about the item.
3. If its alot of money in the transaction call them and get them on the phone. You can hear people out alot of time because if they are scammers they have to think on there toes.
4. Last and just about the most important is get references! If its over a forum how many post do they have and can other people on the forum vow for them.

I feel like expert now that I got scammed. Damn....can believe this actually went down like this.

Awwwww......gonna take 3-5 business day until Wells Fargo will get back to me. Again....the freekin waiting game.

Hells yeah....lets go hang us a scammer!

What the hell kind of point is that? More like another reason why paypal is NOT the way to purchase items. Sounds like paypal is not all its cracked to be.

Thats just a suspicious comment to make. Hows that working out for ya?
