There is a group/website that specializes in scamming scammers-
In the past many here have boasted in the open forum about what we can do to these asshats- that is not such a good idea IMHO - best things happen w/o anyone knowing-
keep it all in PMs.. contact the OP if you have questions. 'Its not over til we say its over'

Re: Warning about LPF member "pr0jkt"

One good thing from all of this is. He will NEVER be buying/selling on this forum in his life ever again. F you projkt, f you sparkles, and a big ol F you to you steviedezie. I still want my $50 bucks back you piece of s***

That pretty much sums it all up!
There always has to be some jack ass that wants to get something for nothing.

I must say I dont like what I have read about PP amoung other things.. They are currently trying to make me verify with another acct. I only ever had my visa linked to PP and now they say I must add my bank acct and get verified or I wont be able to pay with pp anymore.. something about a 6000$ spending limit which I have allmost reached. Why cant they just verify me on my visa.. I really didnt want to link another bank acct to this but I seem to have no choice..

Sorry about the crappy deal Anthot

I have dealt with them b4 I am just procrastinating about it.. I am thinking of linking verifying and then changing my acct. or opening up a dummy savings acct to verify. I certainly dont want them in my main personal acct..

The stupid thing about this is that you are not a scammer! I have recieved everything you ever sold me in top notch shape. And I know others have too. So with your good track record you would think that they would back you up...

Kizdawg---you can get around the limit and need to let them have at your bank account by simply paying with a credit card as a guest---bypassing/not using your official PP account--they still cover buyers protection the same way but you have to safe keep the e-mails about the transaction because they do not show up in you regular PP account information.

I ran into the same thing using PP only for CC purchases PP the told me I was reaching a limit and needed to verify----have been using CC with PP as guest for a long time now --no problems

did you use USPS for shipping?

I believe though not 100% sure that bumps it up to more serious Federal charges.
It would be nice to have the FBI kick in this jerk's door and ruin HIS day... see how he likes it.

Bottom line is that money is not money until it's money. It isn't money until it is cash in your hand.

A transaction is only as good as the buyer and seller. Anything else is an illusion albeit a comforting one.

You are at the mercy of whatever system.
Any transaction other than cash can be challanged whether ultimately successful or not. That goes for all unconventional banking schemes like PP and like as well as any more conventional banking such as credit cards and even checks which are subject to sufficient funds to pay them and stop payment orders from the account holder.

So far PP hasn't bothered me any the second time around.

Yeah my second account was perfectly fine, then this scamming douchebag got Paypals attention with me & they realized it was the same adress as my old account & then they closed it...


Then my 3rd one was closed minutes after opening it...

I will wait a few weeks before trying again, just give them a chance to forget
