Jesus Christ got scammed on FB marketplace

[the700level]

Was trying to buy an iPhone from some dude. Never used FB marketplace before

Start negotiating him down

He’s sends payment request (I assumed it was linked to item)

I pay the request

Realized now I def got scammed and just sent some dude money

Is there anything I can do? Should I just tell PayPal it was unauthorized and not me?

Or tell them I ****ed up?

Inb4 an aware thread is made.

Already tried, they said sorry, once you send money it’s gone. You can ask for it back!

did you pay the person via PayPal? Yeah call PayPal and tell then it was an unauthorized purchase or do a chargeback with your bank

Yes but I ****ed up. I assumed it was good and services but I realized it was just sent as a random payment

I didn’t have the option, it was a random payment request I assumed was for the item. Never used ******** marketplace before

I realize now I basically sent it as a gift

You dont just click a link and it somehow pays the person...you have to enter payment information...

I clicked link, logged into PayPal, and paid.

Assuming the payment link was linked to the ****ing item.

There was nowhere saying “ARE YOU SURE YOU’RE NOT PAYING FOR AN ITEM, BECAUSE YOU’RE NOT GETTING THIS BACK”

[mr.left hook]

reach to PayPal they do a pretty good job covering you for this type of ****. some kid jacked me on Offerup, and I got my cashback

Contact Paypal, they have a entire section of their business model to go after chite like this. Make sure you have empirical evidence (screen shot of a verbal and contextual agreement between you and the seller for monetary compensation in exchange for goods/services rendered). PayPal will pursuer this as its not just against their T.O.S, it violates local, state, and federal laws.








No sense in lecturing you since your being humble and admitting you didn't follow proper procedure to avoid getting scammed online. Just keep your eyes open next time, and for chit like iPhone and high dollar items.... pay a little more and buy them from official channels. ******** market place is for any reputable good is like Tinder for getting quality poosey... there is a reason why the people who are there are there.













Stay safe papi

You should definitely call Paypal. From what I've read Paypal favors buyers more than sellers. However if you made payment via gift it's pretty much gone. Did the payment request have details on what was being purchased? If so you're pretty much covered if the item doesn't arrive or if he sends an item not as described on the payment request. How do you know you've been scammed though?

where did paypal pull the funds from?


if it was credit card you can reach out to your bank directly too and say it was unauthorized and they'll reverse it

It was basically a gift. I didn’t even realize it, I just assumed going through their platform that any payments would be for the item we were discussing in the chat.

It was stupid on my part, I’ve never used it before.

Hoping PayPal helps me as I’ve been with them for 15 years

[McLarenGTR]

did you pay with a credit card? hopefully you did... if so, call them up tell them the transaction was fraudulent and you'll get your money back no question about it.

Based on title I assumed this thread would be about a Mexican guy.

[Kye2000]

Just politely ask him for it back brah

[Mang1er]

Sending as a gift probably ruins your chance of a refund. Happened to me last year.

I didn’t even know I was sending as a gift tho it was ridiculous

No warnings from the payment request or anything

[wagtail]
