FRAUD ALERT

by Mike Hill
13 replies
The person Karen Paul is sending PayPal disputes immediately after a WSO purchase. Since others have experienced problems with this person I thought I should make this alert for others...

Mike Hill

PS. I just talked with PayPal and they are going to look at the transaction history of this person and possibly ban their account if it's frequent enough.

    I was hit with a dispute from Karen Paul as well. I just sent an email to her PayPal address.

      Seems like we have a scammer who buys WSO's then files a dispute with PayPal right away...

      Look here

      [EDIT] It appears that this persons account was hacked...

        Maybe his or her paypal account got hacked by a Warrior and they're buying up WSO's. You'd have to be an idiot to pull a stunt like this on purpose.

          What you say is true. However it's more likey (at least IMO) that the person is not a Warrior member. Anyone who stumbles on the WF can buy WSOs. They don't have to register.

          I wonder how hard it would be to make the WSO forum for registered members only. In other words you can't view it unless your are signed in under your User ID and Password. On my forum there are areas you can't read unless you are signed in.

          This might make someone think twice before scamming. Of course all registered members aren't "real Warriors" a few are real scammers. I'm just trying to figure out how to slow them down or track them.

    Hi All,

    I'm quite ready and willing to give KP the benefit of the doubt. What I can't understand is why the PayPal passwords weren't changed immediately after the first or second fraudulent charge. It seems like this has been going on with KPs account over a period of time.

    The warning here for all of us is to change our PayPal password very often.

    I had the same problem with the same warrior 2 weeks ago I think.

    Want to hear the kicker? I refunded the purchase immediately and now they are trying to hit me with a chargeback as well

        It is the exact same person that I'm pretty sure I had to refrain from kicking in the throat.

        I was going to go through my email and verify it, but not worth wasting the time. lol

    There are warriors whose purpose is to share as much as they could (WSO and other products) in other forums. If I guess it right, they don't want to spend a cent too, but they are highly knowledgeable....

    Mike.

    I responded to your previous post on this. I too was hit with this today, by the same person. Here is the info they gave when placing their order (at least the email is legit, because they got their download link):

    It looks like her account was hacked. I completed the refund of her money and just moved on.
