Hello everyone, I'm getting stuck in a deal.   Yesterday (25 June), I want to buy a game account from a seller (Let's call him Mr.M), and we agree with the price 485 euros. Then I transferred the money 485 to his PayPal account and he showed me his screenshot of receiving 470 euros, and I guessed PayPal took 15 euros of a fee.    After the transcation, Mr.M told me the 470 euros were frozen, so I need to help him unfrozen the money and then he could give me the game account.  The method he told me to unfrozen money is, to start a case for refunding 1 euros, and I did that under the instruction of him. (We communicated on WeChat and for each steps he asked me to screenshot and told me what to do next. )   Today (26 June), Mr.M says "the money will arrive in 21 days because we have opened the case", and he wants me to transfer another 485 euros to make it quicker, and he will refund the 485 euros in the case after 21 days. Then I realise he may be a fraud.   I want to know if Mr.M is really a fraud, and if he is, how can I get money back. I cannot change the refund amount because I have already set the refund amount as 1 euros. I can prove all the chat history.   Please help me! Thanks!     ... View more
