[Paypal security]person scammed me 300$

[spookster]

Ok so this person got away with sending me 300$ to my paypal account then me handing them the information the person was calling me a scammer and such, blah blah. I got the money and then was happy, 10 days later it was taken out of my account. How can i prevent this from happening is there a way a can get him to trade and it be successful cause he will trade again with me, I just dont know how to make it where if he sends 300 dollars it will stay in my account no matter what I am a verified PayPal user. Please help.

Rep: -6
O_o how on earth..


Anyway, I believe you can gift a friend money - gifts cant be recalled.
Tell them to gift it to you and you're save; i think.

Why -6 Rep?

I also dont know, are their any possible solutions?

And by the way try losing 300$ and an account with 3k and epic flying on 2 and mammoth on one.

Sucks.

Try losing a druid with nothing but BiS gear at the time, Time-Lost Proto Drake, #1 2s arena team, and 4 server first achievments because you changed an email.

try loosing out on 1200$ for a Warrior with full t9.5 time-lost, spectral tiger, and blizz mount :/ it was my frist account i tried to sell an i got scammed hard. now im one of the leading users on here in scam prevention.


but to answer your question. mass pay, and gifting can be used, but all of these can be reverted if they choose unauthorized use of account.

Yea MassPay and Gift is a good solution but if you really have a valuable account then I strongly suggest using some kind of online escrow service. Safe for both parties involved.
