I was scammed when I tried selling my account "Teleport". I was stupid and went first, then they took control over both email and mojang account, and proceeded to block me. Like any person I was upset for losing money, and I made a scam report. The user was eventually banned. I also contact protonmail support and tell them there is someone on the account that is not me, and I was able to regain access to the protonmail, secured it and the Mojang account. Then like 2 days later it got locked.

That sounds amazing

But what happened here?

It was

But what happened here?

I think it was because the account had been sold a bunch of times earlier, and because it was pulled right back and forward all the time. Multiple IPs playing on it and it constantly changed

I was scammed $350 in a BTC -> PayPal transfer a couple of years ago. Although from the information the seller gave me, I was able to identify him down to his exact street address, full name, occupation, and age thanks to public records.

I opened a police report against him, as luckily he was from the UK. As I had hoped, he basically shit himself when he had 2 police officers come around to his house enquiring about the scam and he refunded it immediately.

I suppose I was lucky, as he could've kept his cool and played dumb but hey, I got my money back

Smart, good job on picking up on all of that

I'm not too familiar with how BTC works but is there a way to get that sorted out for yourself?

I got scammed 65$ PayPal f&f.

Deal: Buying a server from him and early supporter account

Details: Actually, I should use a middleman for it. But I didn't use because the guy have more than 70+ vouches on his server and he was on a discord Owners Group. So I believe on that (it is dumb from me) and I go first. All happens on a group not on a dm!
Means I could not provide a single evidence against him. Well he was a professional scammer I think.
After I paid 65$, I was waiting for him. Took him 10 minutes to leave every server included "Discord Owners Group" and kicked me out from the group and blocked me.
Well I could not charge-back because I paid with f&f. I got mad, and could not sleep 3 days in a row. But learned a lesson my life to use always middleman on every deal. Then I less cared about money I got scammed for.
