Hello.
I am one of the suckers who paid $149.99 for the Nest thermostat on Fake Nest site and got the phone case from China.
I opened the ticket as a fraudulent transaction, but Paypal closed it with "We have been unable to provide any refund on the transactions listed."
I cannot open another ticket for this item. What are my options?
Thank you!!!

Same thing is happening to me. It's less than 24hrs from my purchase of a nest mesh system and PayPal has declined my request to stop this scam! If you just Google "nest scam website" you will find lots of stories about this scam! BUT PAYPAL CAN'T SEE THE SCAM! AT LEAST 20 COMMENTS ON PAYPAL SITE ABOUT NEST SCAM, BUT PAYPAL CAN'T SEE THE SCAM! WHO'S SIDE ARE YOU ON PAYPAL!

How do I open a dispute with a seller when a purchase goes wrong?
You can open a dispute in the Resolution Centre of your PayPal account within 180 days of payment if:
•You don’t receive the item OR service
•You receive an item but it’s significantly different than the description on eBay or on the seller’s website
By opening a dispute, you can communicate directly with your seller to work out a problem transaction.
If you reach an agreement with the seller you can close the dispute. If you're still not happy with the result, you can escalate the dispute into a claim. Paypal will review the claim and decide on reimbursement.
These steps apply to Personal accounts. If you have a Business account, please log in to see the steps that apply to you.
To open a dispute:
1.Log in to your PayPal account.
2. Click on the transaction and use the resolve a problem option at the bottom of that details page.
Note:
•Generally buyers must wait at least 7 days from the date of payment to escalate a dispute for an item not received
•Where an item has not been received, please ensure you have given the seller enough time before opening a dispute
DO NOT CLOSE THE DISPUTE UNTIL YOU HAVE A CLEARED REFUND OR YOUR ITEM WHATEVER THE SELLER SAYS. ALSO DON'T FORGET TO ESCALATE THE DISPUTE TO A CLAIM WITHIN 20 DAYS IF THE SELLER DOES NOT REFUND.
If you lose because seller provides a fake tracking number (likely) then post back for more advice.
If the item arrives and its tat the make sure you CHANGE the dispute quickly before it closes to 'not as described'.
If that does not work then if you funded your paypal payment via a card then contact your card issuer and see if they will do a chargeback for you.
Also make sure you have activated the below link in case you have to return it.
