FX5 test sale

yeah i did this today, but what sux is that it said i cant escalate this to a Paypal claim until after the 25th a dispute is a resolution console between the buyer and the seller, paypal is not involved at this point. only when you escalate it to a claim will paypal step in.

but by then, the funds will have cleared into his bank, if not already, and he'll be long gone, smoking a cuban in paradise

No, you can escalate it to a claim before then, go here and log in

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_contact-phone
call 1-402-935-2050
then take that 6 digit temporary web pin, put it in the phone, and follow the prompts, eventually where you say 'agent' in order to talk to one. Then tell them what happened, and that you want the dispute escalted to a claim, they should then do that, as well as put a hold on the funds, (of which legally they can't really tell you if thier actually still there or not)
Thats about all you can do for now. However, I am not sure if they are still open right now.

Hey Guys,

Just read through most of the thread. I have been scammed before when buying a laptop. But I was smart and paid with my credit card. For those of you that paid through a credit card (visa, master card, amex) call up your credit card company and tell them the situation. The credit card co. will protect you and get your money back from paypal. I bought a like new laptop but got a POS laptop. Contacted the seller but he just bolted with my money and unregistered from paypal. I simply called my credit card and filed a claim with my CC. Honestly, Paypal is ****ty they will not help you at all.

If you file with your credit card company they will credit your card for the amount. They will them attempt to resovle the issue by emailing paypal and the seller. If they can not produce a legitimate reason from not sending you your item then you will be refunded. The whole process takes about three months. Your credit card will basically take money from paypal, chargeback.

When I told paypal what happen they basically said "sorry you got a laptop even though it isn't what you wanted we do no protect against that". Paypal is useless.

I hate to say it but I can sum it up in one word...GREED! But not on Fishonthebrain's part. I do hope everyone gets their money back and learns from this.

I really kinda seen this coming from the beginning when everyone was just sending him their money and the numbers weren't adding up. It is obviously not his first time. I hope it works out for everyone and you get your money back.

Oh by the way......Don Pendleton or Jess Flanagan and many others could be his name. I going to check and see if this falls under Fraud....a federal offense since members who were affected live in different states and it involved online deception.

from one of the members there.....

J why didn't you show me this earlier!!!!!!!!!!!!

MY GOD!!

First I just wanna say that y'all need to remember that although we are a close group - someone who EVER posts ANYTHING like this with so few posts on here, and no reputation, references or proof needs to be AVOIDED and REPORTED at the FIRST sign of trouble!!

I am working on this now, and will get back shortly. I am gonna pull some strings here with a few classified individuals at my disposal. Will be back.
This is F>king ridiculous and not going to fly.
