    Would there have any way for me even to know that? I feel like every site I've ever used for something like this had some sort of prevention of multiple accounts so I didn't even really consider the possibility. Either way, I dunno why the guy worked so hard to steal just $150.

    On only one of the accounts does he have the same IP. The others are on a VPN, the only way to bypass this is to not allow people to sign up on this website with a VPN(which I think they should do) - I guess checking them and noticing they all signed up in the same few days and having no activity on them is a tell-tale sign something is up.

    It also appears he's abandoned this account after he scammed you as he hasn't been on since.

    I'd suggest contacting your bank and/or PayPal about getting reimbursed.

    Paypal never does anything in these scenarios unfortunately; already exhausted that option. Guess I'll just eat it; was able to prevent one person from being scammed in my misfortune though I suppose.

    Ask your bank to issue a chargeback, they should be able to do it.

    How can you protect yourself from these type of scams in the future?
    I strongly recommend in the future to use PlayerUp Middleman Services to protect yourself from these type of scams. Here is how it works for buyers (Buyers Guide) and here is how it works for sellers (Sellers Guide).

    Is there anything we can do to assist you still with this dispute?
    Please read this guide (Guide - Combat Fraud Service). All we need is the scammers full name and address and we can assist you further.

    What can you do next to resolve this issue?
    Since this is a PayPal transaction, you need to immediately go to PayPal and open a dispute hopefully before the seller moves those funds. In order to do that, go to your paypal receipt, and see the area where it says resolution or dispute payment. Open a dispute and provide them as much proof as possible. Contact PayPal as well and ask them what you need to do to win a dispute. Keep in constant communication with paypal. If you sent the payment by family and friends then unfortunately those funds are lost as you cannot dispute those payments and we strongly advise against sending friends and family payments in the future even if the seller requires it you can easily say no. For more information, please contact PayPal.

    Can PlayerUp provide compensation for this dispute?
    Since this is a non middleman transaction and PlayerUp wasn't directly involved with safeguarding your payment and guaranteeing your transaction we will unfortunately not be able to provide any compensation for you on this transaction as you dealt directly with the individual for which you're submitting a complaint against in this ticket. However if you're able to locate his full name and address, we can possibly go after him but there is no guarantee we'll be able to recover any lost funds - Guide - Combat Fraud Service

    How can I protect myself in the future?
    We strongly advise that you don't conduct business offsite. This is the #1 way scammers attract buyers and sellers is they lure them offsite and then bait them into anything because they have no consequences for their actions. If you did business on site, then disregard this message as the majority of scams are done offsite.

    Open a paypal dispute first and gather evidence. Show this thread to paypal that this guy scammed you. Be careful with bank chargebacks. Sellers can easily win them as they submit evidence and your bank may close the case. Easier to win paypal disputes.
