Is This Too Good To Be True?

If you escalated your claim to a full chargeback on the 9th then your 10 days are up (according to the way paypal do it) on Sunday the 19th, you should therefore get an update on Monday morning. I think most peoples chargebacks went in on the 8th, which means they should get to their 10 days tomorrow so hopefully get a response from paypal Sunday.
Incidentally it is the date and time of the chargeback that counts, a basic dispute does not retain funds in paypal nor does it start any process against the seller.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

I dont believe this!!
Ok im bored at work so I have just emailed the conman from a different email address telling him me and my friend want to buy a buggy (the most expensive one) to see if he replied (I dont know what I will acheive if he does reply but hey as ive said im bored) anyway Google are allowing payments through..............this means more people will get conned, what can we do???????? He must be stopped......can trading standards help do you think!!! Why have Google started aloowing payments through, im SO angry!!!!!
ARGHH Help!!
Hi again, I also emailed him from an alternative email address two days ago, pretending I was interested in a mid-priced buggy, and saying that I couldn't seem to pay via Google, so could he please advise how best to pay e.g could I pay over phone with credit card or post a cheque? I've not had a reply though, so i'm guessing he's scarpered somewhere. (Mind you, if he's reading this thread, he'll know not to bother replying! lol )

[FONT=arial,sans-serif]I see you sold this item 330259121553 to buyer discount-buggies-online on the 6th Aug. Would you be so kind as to forward me the buyers address where you sent this washmit. Its just that he (discount-buggies-online) has scammed a load of innocent mums to be on ebay by advertising new buggies and making off with thousands. (check his feedback) His local police and fraud squad are now involved. I would appreciate if you could forward me any info you have on the buyer from your paypal account. His name and address and any contact numbers would be much appreciated. Sorry to invade your privacy, but I only want to help many genuine buyers in a time of need to catch this crook. There is a thread on www.moneysavingexpert.com where all the people who have been scammed are trying to work together to trap this scamster. Thanks again [/FONT]
[FONT=arial,sans-serif]Much Appreciated [/FONT]

Hi
I recieved Rainman's email but I have already told you all I had via Paypal. I hope someone else can help you.
I don't think he does have kids as they are all really cheap items he bought he bought 1 hub cap for a wheel off me. I even emailed him to check that he only wanted 1!
He has just done it to build up some feedback :mad:
Just read Pilchards Message a few pages back, the item never came back so I can only assume it was delivered.0 -
Hi guys, I have just spoken to Paypal and they told me that we will know the outcome on Monday as today is the last day the seller has to respond to us (people who filed a dispute/claim on the 8th Oct) and then they give extra 24hrs to make sure that they haven't received anything. If the seller won't contact them we will get our money back. Once again I was assured that we should get the whole amount back - even if we placed the order in September and the protection amount was only £150 (who those of you who paid more than £150).
Hope it helps.0 -

I can confirm that of the 11 PURCHASES this scammer made on ebay 4 of his sellers have let me know the details of where the goods were sent to. Surprise surprise this might sound familiar
[FONT=arial,sans-serif]discount buggies
58 st peters road
hillingdon
uxbridge, middlesex
ub8 3sa
United Kingdom
and this number +44 1895770071
These are the details from his paypal account and the address is CONFIRMED.
I did notice that many of the purchases were very low value, it appears he has done this to build up some feedback before the scam operation. The police must know details about this guy because to set up a company on the net with credit card facilities surely there must be some kind of KYC (know your customer) checks done as there is on paypal. Someone must have lived at that address recently or rented it, there must be something for the police to go on (bank account details etc). I think the net is closing in on this fraudster, I hope you all get refunded sucessfully from paypal.
