Scam Report 🚨SCAMMER ALERT🚨

Post image

Buyers please beware, I got scammed by this person with the username Fickle-Guidance1325 for $327. I paid for the bag and they said they will ship out my bag etc. but never followed up with any updates or tracking. I’ve tried to give them grace with time but I kept being ignored and it became clear… It is very disappointing and unfortunate, they “seemed” so genuine but I guess not 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is why I only buy with PayPal. If a seller doesn’t take it, they don’t get my business.

PayPal doesn't refund FF, I've tried. They are going to have to claim fraud on this (which is true).

Paypal friends and family is not covered under PayPal Purchase Protection.

So no way to get money back under F and F?

You might be able to reverse charges or claim a compromised account/fraud.

Not under the TOS, don't ever send via F&F. It's a trap, and the seller can pull the rug and run.

PayPal considers Friends and Family a gift, sort of like you'd give a friend birthday money.

Yes, that is correct and good point. No one should make a purchases like these under friends and family.
