I recently sold some of my websites to a buyer through a forum. I transferred the domain name to him. but there was some delay. I transferred all the files to him. Then I gave him the epp code to transfer the domain. He did not do as the hosting guys told and then he initiated charge back through credit card. I was out of station when he filed a paypal dispute.
Now I accepted his payment into one of my non-verified paypal ID as I was a bit afraid of scammers. There is no money in my alternate account. the charge back is in process. Will I loose the money which I transferred to my main account? I transferred the money from the main account to my bank account. My main account is verified.
Do I have to worry about the fraudulent charge back?
How can they come after me if they cant contact me. I haven't given my correct identity in my alternate paypal account.
but why do you think you could get scammed, you still have the domain and you'll have to give back the money, there's no damage done to you that I can see. Well, the files you sent them, I don't know if they can do anything with that, but other than that?
I haven't given my correct identity in my alternate paypal account.
I'd say a chargeback is the least of your worries at this point.
I have already cleared the money to my bank account and unlinked it.
Sounds like someone other than you is getting scammed here.... because the way you are laying this out, your posts have a tone to them that sounds like....
"I made it impossible for them to trace this back to me, do I need to worry about getting caught?"
If you didn't sell the item then pay the money back, you didn't win the lottery here.
You still have ownership of the sites... there is no legit reason in the world to keep the money... just because you spent the money you got doesn't mean you are off the hook to pay it back. Consider it an interest free loan.... if you don't pay it back though when they do catch up to you, you will have penalties and other fees to pay as a result of your deception.
I did not say i opened account in some others name. My details given there are highly incomplete. Thats all.
I haven't given my correct identity in my alternate paypal account.
Seems to me that these two statements made by you contradict each other. Wouldn't you say?
So which is it? You gave incomplete info or you didn't give your correct id? Because you claim to have done both but it can only be one.
If he doesn't come after you Paypal will and they have the money to make it hurt.(I think if PayPal can't get them money from your account PayPal will have to pay the chargeback)
1. The information I gave in pypal alternate ID is incomplete not fake.
2. I do not have the domains with me now. One of the domain when whoised shows the buyers information.
3. The reason I took precaution is that I have read in forums about domain scammers and how paypal sides with the buyers.
4. I would have paid him back if he just said that he didnt want it or was having second thoughts before I transferred all my site associated accounts, site databases, clickbank account which has over 200$ in commission (I tried to access the account but its password has been changed)
I would today get this all put together call paypal get a customer rep and email him all the information you have to have the charge back reversed as paypal right now will be looking at you as the scammer anfd not the other party.
If the one you sold the domain name is a fake then you need to get with your register and prove this to get the domain name back.
