Been scammed by if4ith.

He placed two orders with me and both were delivered. The orders were placed on July 21 and August 6, 2019.

On December 2, he opened two unauthorized cases on Paypal claiming that he didn't authorize the transactions.

See the below screenshots for proof of our conversation on BHW.

What can we learn from this and how can we protect ourselves against fraudulent buyers like if4ith?

He introduced himself under a different name than the one associated with his Paypal account. I should have noticed that right from the get-go and refused to do business with him. My bad.

He changed his Paypal email after each payment and I saw a total of 3 different Paypal emails associated with his Paypal account.

His Paypal account shows a Dutch address and phone number but he provided me an Israeli Whatsapp number and told me that he lives in England.

He wanted to switch to a different communication medium after the first order was delivered.

If you're a seller and want to protect yourself against fraudulent buyers, beware of any discrepancies in email IDs, phone numbers, locations and behavior that could indicate that you're dealing with a dishonest individual.

I do believe that new users with no reputation are more prone to committing to something like this as they have nothing to lose.

if4ith was last seen: Today at 4:39 PM and gee, he was looking at this thread.

This won't last long as I am sure he as no interest in doing the right thing.
 
@BassTrackerBoats - Thanks for approving this thread. Agreed, he got no interest in getting this right and he's probably already thinking about creating a new profile and doing the same to another vendor if he hasn't done so yet.

To all vendors: take note of the red flags I mentioned in the thread and learn from my mistakes!
