Scammed by abiluff.com

I wanted to order 1 outdoor slide climbing frame for toddler and had one item in my basket. After confirming transaction with PayPal credit, the confirmation received from PayPal showed I paid for two items. I tried to contact website but impossible to log in, my password kept being rejected. No reset link received. Dodgy contact address and website US/Vietnamese created only 8 days ago. Buyer email on receipt was just a gmail account. I opened a case for unauthorised transaction but PayPal closed the case saying it was an authorized one....I'm stuck and don't wanna pay £111 for items I will never receive...any help please? Thanks,

I'm glad you checked before...such situation is so time consuming and frustrating ...I can't get hold of a human being working at PayPal to deal correctly with my issue...

I’ve had the same, I’ve paid for a birthday present for my son that he wanted and now I can’t get it for him as I’ve paid but no conformation nothing so sad that they can do this!

Done a bit of research and if you paid via bank credit card via PayPal, you are not covered under section 75 of consumer credit act.  If you paid by PayPal credit you are covered under section 75.  If you paid by bank debit card via PayPal you can contact your bank and ask for a “chargeback”.  The bank will then try and claw your money back.  Give it a go.

I have also been scammed by abiluff.com so straight away i opened a case about this but wrongly titled it as unauthorised transaction so now the case has been closed and no refund. I wanted to title it suspected fraudulent seller but there was no option! There's no chance of speaking to someone on the phone due to covid-19 so i have managed to message through the paypal website but still currently waiting for a response.

I had this exact same thing.. have paid £460 via paypal - luckily through my AMEX. Raised the unauthorized payment and paypal closed it saying no case... the payment has come from my card yet so hoping AMEX will be able to help (but apparently only once payment cleared and not 'pending'). Paypal not at all helpful - not sure how to contest or change to 'goods not received' as ultimately this is what will happen!
