Was scammed hard, worked with a keyboard dropshipping guy for a few weeks, then he went ghost as soon as the first chargeback happened.

Now we have a second chargeback and I suspect he never delivered orders because after emailing customers they claimed they never received there orders.

My job is payment processing so I lent him my Stripe account. What should I do to minimize damages? I want to continue using Stripe if possible.

I have another business running on Stripe which is doing very well and don't want to lose that account because of this.

I'm not worried about losing money, I'm worried about losing the other Stripe account.

Any recommendations?

Never give someone your stripe, wise, or pp account, as this type of disaster can happen, and you can do nothing about it. Maybe you can contact customer support and have your account closed.

If that so, refund money to your customers and keep your account

But make sure that your supplier never get access to your Strip
 
you have to refund them you shouldn't accept stranger money without knowing from where it's
 
He fucked you, bro...sorry, but if he really didn't send anything, you will receive tons of chargebacks in the coming weeks and they will shut down your account sooner or later

Unless it was just a few purchases, but I suppose we are talking about tens or hundreds of sales

If that's the case, that means u got scammed and you got used in this scheme.

Problems u can potentially face:

1. Chargebacks
2. Police

The account is already closed so I can't refund.

Update:
Looks like I can still refund. I'll go ahead and refund them all now!

Yeah it's fine, it wasn't that much money, I'm mainly worried if they'll shut down the other unrelated account I have on Stripe.

It was in the thousands but it's not that bad.
 
2. Police
This is bullshit...police doesn't get involved in cases of fake ecommerces that send nothing to customers. This guy is probably in country X, OP is in country Y and customers are in country Z, a whole international shit because of $5k? nah, they don't care about it
 
Never share your credentials with anyone. Nobody is trustworthy. Hope you recover everything.

Yes, it's possible that they will shut down the other unrelated account. I suppose they are connect, right? Although unrelated, they are under the same person, no?

before you say anything like that)))

You don't even know me, so if I say something maybe I know what I am talking about?

I told him as a possibility)) and how do u know when police gets involved or not?

how many cases have u personally represented in court or prosecuted, please tell me.

open your facebook, scroll down for five minutes, you'll see at least one fake shopify store selling a scooter for $49 or something similar
this happens since 2016, nobody gives a shit because it's an international scam taking advantage of the high costs that an international case would mean

just a few stupid scammers would scam people from their own country...

let me know if you have some cases to show me, maybe some russian scammers being arrested by the us police while they live in India, that would be really surprising to me

International investigations take more time, gathering and exchanging evidence, then one day you will open a website of eurojust or other. and you will see 150 people arrested or something :D

I am just advising OP, what's reasonable and what I would advise my own clients.

@blocksrey

Make sure to document everything to prove that you had nothing to do with this and you got scammed as well.

Take this measure, and you should be safe :)

tell me his nickname please, seems I have this client now, worry
 
Jesus christ, what an avoidable nightmare. Absolutely crazy giving out your Stripe, regardless of the apparent attractivness of what they offer you.

You are responsible for the chargebacks. And you're almost certain to lose the account. Even if you cover all fees.

Learn from it and move on.

If they link your other accounts, they are toast, too.
