So I read the thread... it got pretty epic for a while... then I sort of stopped reading lately because of a lack of progress/funny.

Has anybody owned this douchenozzle yet????????????

Has anybody made any head way on getting their money back yet??????????????

 

^ 2 or 3 members have gotten their money back thru their banks so far.

 

Just so it's clear.......

 

That is Hillarious... That was Crystal Clear Sir!

 

 

woulda had a lotus too

 

I still can't figure out which bank was stupid enough to give this guy a loan with an $800 monthly payment? Oh yeah, THAT'S why all the banks need a bailout. Silly me...

 

I just about pissed myself watching that...that is hilarious!!

 

wow

 

LOL!

Can't believe I read almost all of this thread. Glad to see things turned out okay for the OP.
but I was getting pretty annoyed by beautiful nerd's comments. lol. No offense

see how I did that? I was attacking you but trying to remain neutral.

 

bump for updates!

 

So let me get this right. Your bank, Bank of America, posted a charge back due to fraud to Paypal, exactly the same as you would with a credit card. The money is withdrawn from your paypal account (due to the charge back) which puts you into a negative $2300 balance. THen you called paypal and had them move the $2300 negative from your account to his account?

The part right upto the charge back I understand. I know guys who have been ripped off and they posted a charge back from the bank, their paypal account goes negative like yours did and they end up going to collections with paypal and get royall screwed over it. Credit rating goes down and they have an action agains them. Try and get credit and nobody will lend till that is paid so you end up paying it back either way.

You somehow managed to get paypal to move the negative from your account to the other guys account. Please in some more detail tell me how in the hell you managed to get this done? Also what assurances do you have that they will not re-post that negative $2300 to your account if they can not recover it from the blackpearlz guy? Paypal needs to be paid in the end, regardless if you were scammed. It's not paypals fault either some guys scammed you. Whats to stop them from trying to recover it from you after their recovery attempts from the other guy fail?

 

And I thought the government bailouts were complicated! I too am curious and wondering how the scammer is going to make out in all of this.

 

He did state that Paypal's investigation was in his favor, and that the seller was at fault, but they could not retrieve the $ deposited in seller's acct. So I would think that paypal would hold the charges against the seller rather than the buyer who they thought was not at fault. Remember someone on here said if they dont get their money, the person held responsible is put to collections and reported to credit companies, so essentially paypal will have payback, one way or the other, so why not it be through the seller they deemed irresponsible?

 

Wow this is intense paypal is a mess.

 

I hope the OP is still pursuing this legally.....

 

.....and wtf is the deal with theblackpearlz , is he in a pound-in-the-***-prision yet?

 

Have a feeling he will never face any criminal charges whatsoever - too damn hard to get any authorities to accept the responsibility and as long as the vics get their money back, they would just as soon be done with the whole mess. Can't say I blame them but that a$$hat should be in prison. Might as well lock this thread up tight.....

 

All i did is called paypal, explained the situation, (i've probably 7-8 records calling in regarding the fraud), then the rep take off my negative $2300. Pretty smooth, didn't get a hard time at all.

 

he's probably waiting until this all dies down, for him to scam again...
