What Happened:
FBPRO contacted me and offered to invite 110,000 American facebook users to my group and send me screenshots as proof for $150. We discussed it for a little while and I paid him $150 through paypal. After I paid him I tried to reply and tell him that I had sent payment, but he had already changed his settings so that he couldn't receive IMs. He had told me that he would be able to have it done and the proof sent within 3-5 hours so I waited until the next day and still no emailed proof and I still couldn't message him.
At this point I knew that he had probably taken my money and ran so filed a paypal dispute. It was only after I filed it that he started to communicate back with me on paypal so that I didn't win it automatically. He said in our paypal communication that he had just sent proof to me and made up a bunch of lies about how I must be scamming lots of people this way and then escalated it to a claim himself. I'm assuming this was so that I couldn't communicate any more on paypal and reply to what he had said about me. He sent me 1 screenshot of him about to invite about 3000 people to my group and called this "proof" that he had invited 110,000. I contacted paypal and gave them the evidence that I had from our messages and the one screenshot he sent me.
A few days later the paypal claim was decided in my favor and I was refunded my $150 but FBPPRO reported my personal facebook account (my only account, I've used for 3-4 years and keep in touch with hundreds of my real friends with) and it was then disabled and I can't get it undisabled.
By the way, he claimed that since my group was growing that it was proof that he had invited 110,000 friends, but my group was already growing at that pace and had gone viral already with the members inviting their friends. I saw no impact in the numbers of people joining the group each day.
This guy has tried to scam me, but even worse was that after he was unsuccessful he got revenge by having my FB account disabled. One of my best friends died a couple months ago and now I'll never be able to see his facebook page again. The hundreds of friends I've had over the last several years will have to be slowly re-added again if I get a new account and the hundreds of pictures I've been tagged in, I'll probably never see again.
This guy will not only try to take your money, but if he fails will try his best to ruin your life. He's the reason why I don't trust people on this forum any more and haven't been on much since then.
Quotes from FBPRO:
"I will provide proof of the invites, there will be no refunds, lol that's not how it works"
"As I say I can provide proof that the people have been invited, if your happy with that then we can continue, if your not, no hard feelings."
"I will send all the screen prints to the email address you said."
