      So today my little brother was interested in selling his WoW account so can get some money to go buy a go kart of which he really wanted to go get the parts to help him build so I said I would help.

      He goes through craigslist and gets suckered into the typical paypal scheme.

      I catch the guy who does it however it is too late. Though he does get back to my account that I was selling too. Now here is the kicker...

      This guy is going to pay me through paypal, then what would typically happen is I will give him account info and he will reverse the funds etc etc. I hate this dude and I believe two wrongs make a right specially when you give it to the other dude good that deserves it! Now what if I have a Paypal debit card and I am at a coffee shop with WiFi and a ATM outside. Now he pays me I run to the ATM take the money out and give him a trial account. He tries to reverse the funds, well they are already in my pocket. And the bank account I will have setup with Paypal will have 1$ in it.

      Would this work? I hate this dude and I hate this scammer!

      pretty sure it wont work cos it takes several days for money to get from paypal to your bank account.

      It might work if u dont use paypal and send the money through bank transfer or something

      It will not work, the account will be left with a negative sum for the amount he charged back.

      1) Setup a Fake paypal.
      2) Have him send it to that paypal
      3) Transfer funds to your Real paypal
      4) He got scammed ;)

      May put your fake paypal in Negative but atleast you get the cash ;)

      Paypal themselves are scammers lol should email them and ask them :) they are pros at scamming

      Paypal requires u to link it up tho
      if u want any funds
      personally i would take his info that was given when he bought the acc see what u can do to contact him
      also if u have any of ur game cd keys or w/e u can contact blizzard saying account was hacked show them the keys another way to get it back
      also show a valid id if u gave him one then u might have some trouble but the cd key u used for the acc should be enough

      ---
      Edit
      ---
      Also i read up on some other things if u can get his info you can look up his phone number and threaten to call the police
      it is fraud and he can be in trouble for it even tho property is actually blizzards
      there was a man who was arrested for saying he was selling his accounts and took the money never gave the acc
      im sure it works the other way around too
      if u contact him first try to scare him senseless with idle threats of authorities getting involved
      if that does not work turn those idle remarks into an actual phone call to his local authorities saying he committed fraud

      All you need to do is make a paypal account (you dont need a bank account) after you receive the money transfer it into your real bank account, make sure it isnt to much like 150+ dollars otherwise paypal will get suspicious.

      2 way's, never use a fake Paypal that's wrong (unless you doing the scamming...)

      Step 1). Have them send it as a gift. or no account. (PayPal WILL NOT reverse any funds that are received as GIFT.)
      Step 2). If they do reverse, simply dispute it, as a "Virtual Goods". (Again Paypal will NOT reverse any funds, that have been paid as Virtual Good's.

      DO NOT however, use the debit method, PayPal WILL suspend your account, due to fraudulent uses. (They will see you as a scammer).

      Take my advice, and use those 2 methods I provided, you will always win.

      **EDIT**
      Also try and get a chat saying your selling this virtual wow account for this $amt. (Will speed up the dispute process.
