Hi everyone,

I believe I'm getting scammed via paypal after having sold a Geekhack member something. I want to talk to an admin, I think.... What do you guys recommend I do?

Thanks!

Are you sure you paid?

Sifo · « **Reply #2 on:** Tue, 03 December 2013, 15:47:27 »

Damn another case of extortion

If you have actually been scammed, and not done something daft, like just sent some money somewhere then provide some evidence maybe?

The best thing to do, is namedrop them, and slowly leak evidence. That usually works.

He sent me money, and now he is 'disputing' it with paypal because he 'never received' the item. He clearly has, I have tracking.

Sifo · « **Reply #6 on:** Tue, 03 December 2013, 15:49:43 »

Do you have their email address ?

Tym · « **Reply #7 on:** Tue, 03 December 2013, 15:50:35 »

Double check tracking vs. PayPal address.

Sort everything out with PayPal, then warning the community is probably a useful move.

As long as the item was paid as goods and you have tracking that shows delivery to the confirmed paypal address you should be ok.

Have you taken all the necessary steps with paypal?

And kmiller's way is the way it usually goes down here.

audukent · « **Reply #10 on:** Tue, 03 December 2013, 15:50:49 »

I do now, the one they use via paypal.... It seems like a scam because their name is NOT coming up either.

SpAmRaY · « **Reply #11 on:** Tue, 03 December 2013, 15:52:49 »

Was it a brand new user or something?

audukent · « **Reply #12 on:** Tue, 03 December 2013, 15:54:07 »

This is why you never send international boys. GG to me, think I lost this one. I sent like an idiot.

audukent · « **Reply #13 on:** Tue, 03 December 2013, 15:54:36 »

No he is not a new user, I'm probably more new than he is. He wins this one, i guess.

why don't you call him out on it?

audukent · « **Reply #15 on:** Tue, 03 December 2013, 16:03:22 »

It would be too premature at this point. I have just raised the dispute to USPS and Paypal.

such a dangerous question to ask someone who is aggravated!

Tym · « **Reply #17 on:** Tue, 03 December 2013, 16:06:49 »

I'm not sure why you;re saying you've lost. As long as you have proof of postage (tracking) paypal will always side with you.

I'm a noob and I'm scared because it's international and worried they won't side wit me

I have the receipt still too.

Yes they will.

Did you tracking number follow the item all the way to its destination?

and even if it picks USPS to start with you can go and pick the destination country and see if it tracks there as well. If you need help shoot me a pm.

Wow that works really well. It routed me to a separate site which let me track using the Chinese EMS Site. Thanks sir!

eth0s · « **Reply #26 on:** Wed, 04 December 2013, 21:56:44 »

Wait wut happened here exactly?

audukent sent something to somebody in China and got paid? Is that right?

But the Chinese mystery buyer said he did not receive the item?

But the tracking shows it was delivered to the correct address? Do we know that?

So what exactly is the problem? Either I don't understand or something hinky is happening here with the seller.
