Does anyone have experience with pushing through the seemingly final decision made by paypal after reporting fraud, where there is a verifiable false attempt at refunding which satisfies paypals resolution system? I was scammed, and realized within minutes of making the purchase that it was a scam. The giveaway was the parcel tracking indicator said "out for delivery" via usps right away. Clicking on that tracking number, it said the item had been delivered on a date that had already passed the previous week. I raised all the flags with my bank and paypal within the first 15 to 20 minutes. The seller made a refund attempt, but that green dollar amount had a line ------- through the amount. That refund attempt was followed by an email from paypal to the seller with me as a cc, directing the seller to make sure there is enough money in their account before attempting a refund. That was it. I continued to contact paypal, referencing the line through the amount and the email they cc'd me on, and they closed my case anyway.
All attempts to raise the flag now, are met with notices that say this case has been decided, and the only course of action is to contact the seller. That's literally like a cop telling a assault victim to go talk to their assailant if they want the problem to be resolved. It's insane. Is my only route from here to find an attorney? It's not even really about the money anymore. I am broke taking care of my kid as a single dad, and it would be helpful, sure.. But it wasn't even 100 bucks. I'll make it. It's about the principle. The poor are the least deserving of having their money scammed from them. Scam the ultra rich for christ sake. I've had all I can take with this dynamic in play, something has to be done. The rich have plenty of money, more than they could ever really need. Take theirs. After the seller took their site down, I was able to find them up again on a different site. I have tons of information that could help stop them. Anyone have advice? useful advice? Thanks
