This user recently offered to buy 2400 microsoft points off me.

This is his original message:


Offer for MS Points
Hi there
I'm interested in your 2400 ms points ,
My Paypal is cin84_12 and I would like to make an offer of 29 dollars for your points.
If you accept if you would send me the Paypal address you want to receive payment and the 2400 points and ill take care of the rest .
If 29 doesn't sound good please let me know what does, if not then I look forward to trading with you.


I sent him the 2400 code and a paypal email. He never replied back again. I have sent him 3 messages, and he never replied to any of them.

What do I do?

Why would you ever send a single use code before receiving payment? .... even if you only have 1 feedback

At least you have his e-mail address and can spam him with pictures of black cock

Spoiler

Get it? Especially since his name is Pollo

LOL i don't know..

Unless you sent it as a gift, you can always open a dispute on paypal.

 

[superkiller]

Open a dispute for what? He used the code and never sent me the payment.

 

[Hybrid5006]

O right... don't do drugs?

Whoa, what? I'm glad I check this area. My boyfriend (Fantastic Orange) traded with Pollos last week and had the money sent to my Paypal because they keep holding his for 21 days. He paid and the points were sent. So he used my Paypal to pretend that he had one?

I don't sell points anymore due to a previous issue already dealt with. All people I have traded with before can confirm I am the owner of that Paypal account.

My guess is that guy traded with a few people to get some feedback and then scammed you. He tried to get more from me, but I was out. Here's our convo

She had nothing to do with your trade.
We do have his Paypal address if the mods want it.

If the code was a physical one, on a card, you might be able to call Microsoft and get the points transferred to your account. Or if you got the code through a website and still have the receipt.

I got the code from a person. Will I still be able to contact Microsoft to get the points transferred to my account?

 

[mitch079]

send a message to a mod so they can investigate and put him in a trading time out.

Probably not, since you have no proof that the code was yours.

He's been tossed out of the Trading Forum for good. This won't be an issue going forward.
