I had a terrible experience where the guy paid me for vip at my bar through paypal . then i guess since he found out i was stupid enough to accept pay pal he aggressively wanted to send me $200 more and made me give him cash. He told me he was scamming his work basically. I was afraid of him so i did as he said then a few days later he disputed it and took all the money on my pay pal back. So thats 250 200.. Then 200 more bc i gave him the cash as he insisted. Pay pal let this man get away with this not even knowing how much that little 600 hurt me and my kids. If you find someone with paypal to help you please send me info. Thanks. Best of luck to you. ... View more

I work at a bar and allowed a man to pay me via pay pal for them to be vip. Everything was fine. After the time he bought in vip expired him and his friend went back downstairs. The guy was rock solid, possibly a body builder but he was begging everyone for meth so i went my seperate way. Soon he finds me again first asking to for me to send him $200 and he will give me the cash back. He was aggressive, strong and on drugs it seemed so i feared for my safety. since his payment processed fine the first time i did as he said hoping to get him to leave me alone. He sent me money on paypal and i gave him 200 cash. He said it was his work account so it was like free money. So we had 2 $200 transactions. One for him to go to vip with me. Second.. Was him knowing he could rip me off.. Not only did i give him $200 cash. the next day he disputed causing me to owe him $500 Being a single mom i got to work once a week or once every 3 weeks. So the money he sent me (with no issue) was spent on bills and kids immediately. THIS SCAMMER STOLE FROM ME AND MY KIDS.Ofcourse now i cant get ahold of him and paypal wont help. i would never steal from a person. He stole from a struggling mom of 2. Its been a year and they are still on his side and im still in debt and i still cant believe the CRUELTY of the situation. I went though so much hell over this and have got no help. It messed up my credit as well. All because i tried to help a man with no cash by letting him pay me through pay pal.Anyone help me please! We cant allow scammers to do this. Paypal wont listen to or help me but sent me a msg today saying he wins.Do i really have to go to the police station and make a report? Im new to these issues PLEASE SEND OPINIONS ... View more
