Hello

I have an problem, i bought an Game account from an guy, and he scammed me :(
Been talking to him in msn, he said as soon the money is on his paypal account he would give me the account infos, so i send him the money and 1 min after the money reached him he went offline , this is now over an week ago and he dont respond in msn and in mails, is there an way i can get my money back? I called paypal and told them, they said they have to look into it , but he cant tell me if i get my money back or not :(
Anyone know what i could do to get my money back?

You can get you money back. You have to ask the support and let them retransfer. You must do this in the next 2 months.

Thank u for the answers :)
Well i called paypal and they said they not sure if i get anything back cuz virtual items hard to prove anything, and it take them around 10 days to investigate, what i do if i dont get my money back? it was , well a good amount of cash id say :(
They also said they only offer the secure thingy if u buy via ebay, but not if u buy from private persons
Sorry for my bad english, and thx for ur replies :)

No, you have 60 days for retransfer.

It's the same with my bank. If you transfer the money to a wrong person you can get it surely back.

It's like the scammers are doing it: Sell an account, want paypal money, wait 60 days and then they're resetting their WoW password with the game code.

You can get your money back, i'm really sure.

If not, you can tell the Police.

Problem is he is from spain, and i cant prove that i never recieved the account details, ( well i could give them all my e-mail info if that would help)
I dont know if police do anything , im from germany, he from spain i think , will make it hard for police, but i hope not impossible , well if he have an paypal acc i think they need to show the police where he transfered money to, and bank u only get if u have an personal ID so prolly wont be hard to find out his name ( atleast i hope that :) )

Also, bei paypal hast du 60 Tage Zeit, dein Geld zurückzubuchen.

Die Polizei hilft da natürlich auch, online Betrug.

oh lol seh erst jetzt das du auch deutsch bist :)
Erstmal danke für deine hilfe

Naja ich warte jetzt die 10 tage ab und dann seh ich ja was paypal sagt, ansonsten muss ich zur polizei und zum anwalt , aber wenn paypal es nich zurückzahlt denk ich wird es nen riesen heck meck es zurück zu bekommen
am telefon hab ich gesagt ich will das geld zurückbuchen , die meinten sie müssen es erst untersuchen und bei virtuellen dingen, also e-mails etc gibt es keinen käuferschutz scheinbar
Hoffe nur das es sich so regelt , weil polizei und anwalt kann sehr lange dauern denk ich

Lass dir Zeit, sie müssen es zurückbuchen, les dir mal ihren FAQ durch, da müsste sowas von wegen Rückbuchungsrecht stehen.

Wenn nicht, man mag es kaum glauben, die Polizei ist dein Freund und Helfer, auch in solchen Dingen.
