As said before I have no idea with this person, his name sounds fake as fuck, paypal automatically accepted charges without letting me approve, he's trying to scam $350 out of me which I've been saving for months, I have no idea how he got my email he's claiming that I spent $350 on his online game services.
Question, if you enter a persons email into skype does it show their contact?
He said that he sent it to the wrong email saw I opened a paypal claim and now is saying he thought he was incorrect but is now sure I have paid him even though he's avoiding proof of any conversations we've had he's saying we talked over skype but his email pulls up no information.

Just put in your claim with paypal and let them deal with him. He won't get money unless he has proof.. Otherwise i will be going and sending out money requests all day long.. haha.. But seriously, some guys are just fucking losers. Paypal will sort him out mate.
Just an update with this, paypal closed my claim then I spoke with a paypal Claim supervisor, showed them the email conversation and they said I should be getting credited within 48 hours then the moneys going to go back on my Debit card. I hope this fucker rots. _________________________________________________________ The internet, a place where people expect you to know what they know.

let us know when you finally get a resolution man. Paypal is always the safest way and i recommend it for everyone. Never use a VISA, MASTERCARD or whatever online ever, especially when directly linked to your main bank account. Get a paypal. _________________________________________________________ HQ Network:

yeah just incase change your password. There's other ways for someone to get your info. Like visiting a hacked website or getting an email with worms in it for example or even brute forcing your password. Some people have dumb, simple and easy passwords still. They should get hacked.
If someone makes an invoice at Paypal, you never have to pay it and Paypal will not take your money. No one can take your Paypal money out right unless they have access to your account or you accidentally approved the transaction. Once you click to pay, your done in most cases. Goodbye money. Just having your Paypal email does not get them your money, they still need your password except in the case if they have access to your email account then they could have approved the payment for you.
What you described shouldn't have happened, something sounds fishy here in some way or another. I suggest changing all your passwords and get your PC audited. Also Paypal should look into how that person managed to take money from your Paypal account because something is definitely wrong. _________________________________________________________ 10% VIP Discount (Coupon Code: HQ-VIP-001 ) - Signup for web hosting at www.TweakedHosting.com/clients/aff.php?aff=004 and earn the HQ network of sites recurring income!

Exactly, I recommend you change your password asap. I always have a exclusive and big password for paypal.
