PayPal
Complaint 96083 Details

In October of 2011 this guy by the name of Greg Fisher on facebook asked me to befriend him and so I did thinking that he was someone that I had gone to school with. We had been talking on chat for a couple of months and then in December he told me that he had been diagoised with lung cancer and that he was dying and wanted to give 200,000 in his account in a bank in Nigira., so he gave me his banking info so I could see for myself that he wasn't lying. He then told me that I would need a paypal account so he could send me the money that it was the safest and fastest way to recieve and send money. Then he told me that this would be like a work from home online that what was sent in I would make 10%, so I did and sent money out of my account that he sent to me and told me who and where to send it. Then a couple days go by and I get this email from paypal saying that I owe this money for these chargebacks. I have had my account with paypal for almost 15 years and have sold through ebay and recieved money through paypal for my items sold. I have also bought a lot online and paid through paypal and have never had any problems or chargebacks. I had no money in my paypal account when this guy started to send money in and then I sent it to who he told me to send it to. I didn't make hardly anything off the deal either. Paypal is now saying that I owe them this money. Well to make things worse I found out that the whole thing was a fraud scam and that he had also done the same thing to a friend of mine too. I have turned he and paypal over to the Secert Service.
