It's been pretty quiet over here lately...anybody have anything new to report? Has anybody heard back from paypal regarding fraud claims filed?

Fuck paypal...they won't do anything...the only way paypal will "reverse" the charges (get your money back) is if there is money in the seller's account...& the bitch has obviously already transfered all monies sent to her to her checking account. I would suggest everyone who paid with paypal call them up to bitch about this, & then go to your bank and file a claim to dispute the charges (if the money was electronically withdrawn from your bank account). Better yet, if your paypal payment was charged to a credit card, you can dispute the claim with them. My bank is refunding my money & then going after paypal.

Also, if there was any doubt that the bitch purrfect-kat is behind this scam, check this out...

Scroll down to the 5th comment from the bottom...BUSTED!!!

Anybody heard back from paypal yet...my 10 day waiting period will be up tomorrow, so I should know something by then (hopefully).

Sounds to me like someone's getting mighty nervous...

Has anyone contacted paypal to try & get an update on this situation & where everyone stands concerning their refunds?

MAIL FRAUD - 18 U.S.C. 1341, makes it a Federal crime or offense for anyone to use the United States mails in carrying out a scheme to defraud.

A person can be found guilty of that offense only if all of the following facts are proved: First: That the person knowingly and willfully devised a scheme to defraud, or for obtaining money or property by means of false pretenses, representations or promises; and Second: That the person used the United States Postal Service by mailing, or by causing to be mailed, some matter or thing for the purpose of executing the scheme to defraud.

Surely, with paypal being slammed with fraud complaints from several different people, everyone will get their money back. It sure would be nice if someone who has a good contact at ebay (like PJ) would use his status as an honest & reliable ebayer to help things along.

Has anyone else gotten any emails similar to DARE, asking them to return the packages "unopened"...it seems to me that this is just more proof that everyone's suspicions are correct.

If anyone has any new information regarding this situation, please let the rest of us know!

JLPRocks...what specifically do you mean my "Stick to your guns and the rest will take care of itself"? I've already contacted paypal...is there anything else I can do? Also, has anybody out there gotten a refund yet (through paypal or from sspert...)?

Add me to the list of people taken by this scam artist. He has refused to give me a tracking number from day one (his excuse is that he has so many different ones, by the time he found mine the "package" will have arrived). I've already filed a fraud complaint with paypal, & my next step is to contact my bank. After I last emailed him to let him know that I was aware of the scam & that I expected a full refund, he only replied to say that "there must be some confusion & to give him my address so he could track my package". Has anyone received there cd's yet from this scum & were they all CDR's as has been reported here?
