just read thru the scam, and have a question.

While I've never used PayPay, I was under the impression it was designed to hold your money till you got the goods.

Seems they just pass your $$$ along? If so, what's the point?

May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your fruit of the looms and multiply vigorously!

The particular thread on that R6 site is now closed but before it did I notice the scammer is mocking the guys that sent him money and says he is untouchable. He says he is a visitor the the US and actually lives in the Dominican Republic, whether that's true or not, he did manage to open a US bank account.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is more than one scam involved with that person. Not sure how far the victims legal action will go but it's good to see they are trying to do something about it.

Ride on !

I've bought stuff off ebay using paypal, only had one no-show, so put in a dispute to paypal. OK it took a month or so, but got my money back in full from them.

Look hard enough and you'll always find some low-life's under one rock or another

Funny how the guy claims to live in the Dominican but doesn't like blacks. I'll be following this one to see if he gets his due.
