Got Scammed

[poolandpokerman]

Never send money to LEAH WOODS, I did through Zelle and got taken with no protection.

Zelle has NO protections. Zelle is equivelent version of electronic cash. Once it's gone it's gone. I've payed up to do paypal for business on some transactions. As they say a fool and his money are soon departed.

Some people are just asking to get taken. It's not like they had a gun to your head. You have time to think about the situation.

How do you know whether to trust somebody when you purchase in this forum or not? I am thinking about buying a stick, and this crosses my mind.

My Wife Zelled money for a down payment on a Dog. He ghosted her, so I turned everything I had over to my Bud that does IT stuff for the Government. In a day I had everything back to his birth certificate. He refunded Her money the following day. It's great to know people. Brian.

Can you help us on giving better information? I know you gave a name but is there a web link or screenshot of information? Zelle’s name or info? I meant who’s Leah woods? If you also provide their Zelle’s name, ID , phone number or something more than name, that will be great.

Also, did you video live chat with the seller? If you haven’t try that then you should.

Without at least several legit, verified transactions with positive feedback, NEVER send money that can't be yanked back.
Fund with a credit card through paypal, you can either have paypal step in or let the credit card company reverse it. The latter may cause issues at paypal, make sure you have zero balances for paypal funding or they may try to reclaim it.

goodness, that is a recipe for a scam. awhile ago, a supposed seller tried to pull a fast one on me on Venmo. too good to be true and seller was too pushy for a sell. my instinct kicked in and do some further research regarding this payment service and the seller. turns out venmo has become a vehicle for scams, just like some known wire transfer companies and the seller has a fake account. reported his ass to authorities after that. anyway, lesson learned anything to do with 3rd party money transfers or payment service should raise a red flag immediately.

ONLY use Paypal Goods&Services when buying a cue.
