Hello,

Firstly, I'm not looking for your compassion I should have been more careful and insisted more for an Escrow other than Paypal. I would like to know if something could be done to close his twitter account. I'm making this thread, to share my experience so there will be less scam for blackhat community. Please let me know, if it's not the good section for it.
I have 2 disputes with paypal, and I have already lost 1 of them.

So here is what happened :

I just got scammed, I wanted to buy a twitter account but he never delivered. The account cost $325, he told me to accept to mark it as delivered but then Paypal blocked suspicious transaction since it's a big amount. He told me to make a dispute to refund the amount in half so Paypal won't hold the amount anymore. So he refunded 175$ then I have to resend 175$. Then he faked out the delivery by sending wrong password for the account and he disappear.

I tried to join him via his Twitter account and email but he didnt answer. Tonight, someone replied in Spanish and said that he's the real owner of this account and the account was share with his friend. He said that his friend tried to sell his account. He tried to make me believe that he could only talk in Spanish, but I know he lied because he could understand perfectly what I said.

So, I guess it was the same guy (the scammer trying to fake out that his friend was doing fraudulent thing with his account). He's Colombian.


He also told me that he will help me to refund and then asked me to open a dispute.

So I did, but now he said that his friend doesn't want to refund. So, he will refund it in his place, but only in one condition... he told me to cancel the dispute, so I won't receive the amount twice (which I didn't, I wont get scam twice in a row).


Now he blocked me from Twitter.

So, guys what do you think can be done ? Do you think that I should call Paypal, since one of my case it's still under buyer protection. I still have the full conversation and all screenshot to prove it.

Thanks
 
Best option is to call PayPal.

Don’t know how they will react when you mention it’s a twitter account,

But hey you got nothing to lose
 
Move on. I'm sorry but there's literally nothing to do, Paypal sucks.

Well, i was asked what kind of SEO i was doing, and in what niche was my client.

At first i was thinking the dude from paypal was fucking around with me but he was srysly interested in proofs of what i was working so i can win the dispute.
It was porn. Around BBC and BBW.

sooo, you think hearing "i got scammed for a twitter account" sounds bad huh? :3

Thank you, I may try to call them. Nothing to lose more than this.

Why would you give this advice? It's terrible. There is a money trail. The money might still be available to be recovered by PayPal. It could just be some kid who doesn't know how to cover his tracks very well. I would call PayPal and start almost crying and say I am fairly new to using the internet and someone scammed me. They didn't deliver the product and I need help anything they can do to help. The fact that they told you to open a dispute and then close the dispute is a classic social engineering trick. PayPal will recognize it as a trick and a scam.

My advice might not be the best, apologies. I've had a couple frustrating dispute resolving cases on PayPal. He broke their terms by accepting delivery of a service which he hadn't received yet. I mean he could tell them he was tricked, it's a 50/50 chance they'll buy that. However, I retrieve my earlier advice and join y'all to encourage OP to call Paypal see if they can help him recover the funds.
 
The twitter account that I was trying to buy was in adult niche ... :D
I will call them. But I learned my lesson never trust anyone on internet regarding money especially Colombians dude :p
 
PP is a big headache for most of the IM oriented payments. Call them and explain the whole scenario but don't expect anything

i hope you get your money back, fight here you have nothing to loose, and a small advise on buying twitter accounts, just avoid buying account instead build one, dont buy account but buy rts, it will work 100%, just curious followers count for that twitter account?

I was indeed trying to build my own account at first. And this Columbian guy, I paid him 2 times already successfully for RT. He didnt scam me for those RT. But then he asked me if I wanted to buy his account because blabla he won't have time to manage it anymore. So, since we have already multiple successful deal, I thought it would be ok.
But I guess when it's bigger amount they will try to scam.
It was 230k followers
 
Call PayPal and explain the problem.. Ifucking hate thoes sellers that just can't do business right. I feel like I will never buy something blackhat again
 
I wonder if mass reporting his twitter account can make him get a ban. He will lost 3 years of working for this scam. I mean I hope so
 
You can still get it back.
Call Paypal, you've nothing to loose now.
 
Just got a call with Paypal. She sent me a link so I can put more proof to the case. Anyway it's stupid because in the conversation he even said that "his friend try to scam me" (but it's him obviously) I hope he will get a ban. :mad:

What he said after disappear :

Him : Hola buenas tardes
Hablas español?


Me : No sorry haha
I learn spanish but now I forgot everything
but bro your password didnt work... Im waiting for the account since 1 day now

Him: Ok entiendo, yo no hablo inglés.
La persona a la que le enviaste el dinero no era yo
Un amigo que me ayuda a administrar la cuenta me la quería robar y vender

Me : f***cking scammer

Him : Hasta ahora pude recuperarla
Le había cambiado la contraseña
Lo siento mucho, puedo devolverte el dinero si quieres
Dame tu correo
O como te los devuelvo?

Me : mypaypaladress@...
paypal please

Him : Ese correo tiene paypal?

Me : Yes

Him : ok amigo, te pido disculpas por lo sucedido

Me : I lost 325$...

Him : tienes whatsapp para mantenernos en comunicación directa? Es que no tengo el dinero completo
Me toca sacarlos de mi bolsillo y de algo reunido
325? FUCK
Es mucho
Pense que solo habian sido 150

I sent all the conversation to paypal. I hope it will be enough
