PayPal scams

[LP Freak]

Is there a way to still get scammed if making a purchase using PP goods and service option?

You mean goods and services? I mean, I guess if they never send you a guitar.

Yes recently, what happened was fully covered but here's what happened. I was refunded but not in full. That is the scam and I was paid but after the red tape of waiting to be and decided in my favor.

That sucks but I’m asking as a buyer

I was the buyer. Outta nowhere they send a refund but not in full. Then you file and hope it goes your way bro.

You just gotta be aware of who you're dealing with. Look for the red flags. I recently posted a WTB for some tubes on a FB group. Someone messaged me that they had what I wanted. But I took a look at their FB profile and all the images were AI generated and they had zero real friends or FB posts/interactions that a normal, real person would have after being on social media for a decade or more.

I asked them for details on the tubes and instead of speaking like a normal non-lizard human, this is what they said:

"All are same matches set and new four for $300 shipped happy with the deals send information for a pro forma invoice and payment to proceed with delivery details needed Names Address Email Phone number Thanks main Stage Audio cheers"

If you still send money to someone after that... you might need your BS radar checked.

Ugh oh, what happened LPFreak? That's kind of vague.

I got scammed about 2 years ago with PP friends, but it was through a username that was not being used and someone hacked into their account and pretened to sell me an amp. I was fortunate to get all my money back though.
