Double your money using Paypal and amazon.
Today i discovered a great method to double your existing money using paypal and amazon without legal consequences:
Steps are simple:
Register at ebay and buy amazon.com gift certificates (as much as you can get)
Pay using your Paypal account.
Use the certificates immedialy to get all the money into your amazon.com account.
- Mail to paypal some bad Mofu stole your account data and you have no idea what happened.
- Papal , as the frauders best friend, will get you your money back but amazon here also acting as a frauders best friend will NOT reverse the used certificates to the original owner. So guess what? You just doubled your money.
hm ok for explanation: I am in fact one of the idiots that got ripped this way.
I sold my amazon certificate worth 800$ on ebay to a buyer with 10 positive feedbacks (all for gift certificates he bought over the last 30 days).
He send me the money and i send the gift code to the paypal e-mail address.
- 2! Days later paypal notified me about that they have to put a "hold" on the payment i received and set my account balance to a negative blance "to investigate"
- i immedialy contacted amazaon about what happened and that there is someone using a actually stolen certificate and that they should stop/hold/delete that certificate code and return another one to original buyer (me)
answer: "Sorry that´s impossible, the gift code is not reversible and they can do shit about it and don´t even care that someone is using a stolen certificate"
everything came as i thought : paypal feld it is the "right decision" to return all funds i recieved to sender today.
So i got 0 $ in my papal account and lost a 800$ gift certificate.
and some lucky bastards now has 800$ revenue.
Good work Paypal & amazon.
I will spread this issue on every fucking board where paypal/amazon is used. Hope at least one or two people will wake up now.
Fuck these companys!
