Will cut this short. Member came to me claiming he was a rich boy from Dubai looking to buy Pokémon GO accounts. Didn't care too much but he wanted to buy in a bulk of 70. We agreed upon the price of $150s for 70 of them as seen in the screenshot below but he had to pay me from a "friends" account due to being from the East.
Oh hey that puush link with the accounts still works too. Wonder if any of those accounts still work?
Payment has now been cancelled:
Seemed sketchy from the very beginning but don't really mind too much. Just deal with caution with the member for now (or not at all as I recommend) until they solve this problem.

Why does the 'Reason' say automatically refunded by PayPal?
Seems legit! I am sorry for what happened OP! c

It's cool. Very annoying on the loss of a potential $210 but risks you have to take

Believe it was because the payment was waiting for funding via a bank but it never happened and so payment was never sent.
Okay, I thought I should explain myself here. I was looking to buy these accounts and resell them irl for profit, if you want google something called "Dubizzle" and check out the prices Pokemon GO accounts are going for on there. I never A) claimed I was a rich kid from Dubai, i just said I would make much more reselling them, and secondly, I do intend on giving you the full $150, even though it was not my fault. The person who's account I paid from owed me for selling him something else, and I was worried my unverified PayPal would get limited with this sum of money coming into it as first transaction, so I told him to pay it straight to you. What they did was do it as a donation through bank transfer and then later cancel the transaction from their bank, atleast that's what I have figured out so far. I am gonna try and get this sorted with you over PM, but I honestly had no intention what so ever to steal your accounts at all, and the other thing is I think a bunch of those are still working so you could try running it through sentry MBA with any of the configs around for Pokemon GO to double check
it's your fault, for not requesting a direct payment from him. Personally if someone sent that 2 me i would tell them you'll refund until getting a direct payment from the given user.

Eh - probably should have but I'm gullible and try to trust the most out of people.

I'm happy you want to resolve this but obviously until I get my $150s this will remain. Whether it was unfortunate circumstances or not, I'm down 70 accounts and $150s.

What happened is I got scammed off site and in turn Happeh got scammed as a consequence, so while I do realize how upset he is over this and that it is definitely not okay, I never intended to scam him and this just happened as an accident. I hope he can understand I am trying to solve this and he can just cut me some slack, because the transaction I just cut scammed out off cost me $1050 while it cost him $150 only 🤝

I am cutting you slack, doing what is basic and just opening a scam report. I appreciate the fact you got scammed yourself and you want to resolve this but obviously until I get my $150 and cash out, this remains open.
accused user just showed me legit getting scammed for 1k+ damn.

perhaps take this down happeh like a civil case irl sort it out between one another repost if it's not paid by the given date discussed? just sucks 2 see how much he's down then being restricted to starting business on here is shit (assuming he plans 2) also it'll only help him get your funds fasteR? but it's not my argument i just feel as though it can be resolved man 2 man, you both seem quite mature and understanding.
take it how you will, goodluck with whatever happens. take care
Me and OP have talked through PM and agreed that I would repay him after a certain period of time, I'm glad he is taking stuff this well and we can get it behind us soon. Thanks OP

I'm obviously not going to take it down. I have been discussing with him a postponed payment date and I'm all cool - but there's no need for me to remove this as however bad he's hurting, I am still down $150s and will be for awhile. On top of that it would be irresponsible to now indirectly vouch for him removing this and changing my rep on him to help him "open a business".
This stays as long as I don't have my money - gave Clegane a few weeks to make up the money and he seems committed to doing so so I'm okay.

I had assumed I wouldn't get scammed for such a large amount, and the member who paid me I thought was trusted
Don't forget to add him to the database, to potentially save other members from being scammed.
