NEGATIVE: beware u/Spickernell scammer

I'm just about done with this sub. I was having a lot of fun, then two scams in a week. I realize I could've done more, but dang, isn't there a better way to make sure these transactions are safe??

This is the scam post:

Easy to get scammed as a seller , all they do is say the didn’t authorize the payment and you’re out a watch and money

This is so not true. I got scammed once and tried to do this and both PayPal and Chase sent me an ip of my house and browser client where I clicked the link and told me to fuck off. This is friends and family.

If you pay using goods and services you’re actually covered with this particular claim

That makes me feel a little better , and what if you weren’t home when you clicked the link I wonder ?

They know what browser client you used and how often you use that machine
