Seafood Scam King crab,and other fish and meat, is a HUGE scam, under multiple fake or hijacked names. PayPal has to have known about this for months. Don't use PayPal without using Visa or MasterCard so you can dispute

Hi @JoeK3

 

I'm sorry to hear of the trouble with this merchant. 

 

We offer Buyer Protection for most transaction. This helps protect the buyers money, in case any issues arise. If you're experiencing an issue with a merchant, we recommend filing a dispute against the transaction to request a refund. 

 

I hope this information helps!


Thanks,

Not a satisfactory reply. It's so easy to spot these scammers,so why don't you? Easier for consumers forced by crooked merchants to use PayPal to use their Visa or Mastercard via PayPal and get an immediate credit. No guessing involved

Hi @JoeK3

 

Great question! 

 

When a dispute is filed against a transaction, its noted on the buyer and sellers account. We complete reviews to pick up on trends and risky activity. If we determine there is a higher risk associated with an account, we can take action to prevent risk to customers and ourselves.

When a scammwr like this is offering popular products for less than 1/3rd the price,it doesn't take a genius to recognize it as a scam

Hi @JoeK3

 

That's a good catch.

No! You have the giant computers. Stop passing the buck and accept your responsibility. That was a weak answer. " Hey! We told you how to protect yourself, so don't blame us if you didn't!!". Terrible
