  Old  mike.fro BEWARE!!

Ok so i sold the blindnerd.com package too mike.fro for $200. This was several months ago. I am now in a dispute with paypal about a bank chargeback. Which i think is due too the fact he regretted buying it and he couldn't sell on.

He ignored all my msn messages even though he is online.
If he manages too somehow get his money back i will sue his ass too the ground. So my message is simply avoid transactions with this man.

mike.fro -- beware!!!

He has been banned temporarily. This has happened with many other people as well (almost $2,000 in total chargebacks). Apparently his credit card was stolen, then he reported it missing to his bank, who thought that all the paypal charges were not by him (why they would automatically chargeback those without his approval, not sure), hence the chargebacks. He says all the money should be paid back soon.

(There was also like a 3 page thread on this, I'm sure it's still on the first page, too).

Different story than he told me. Friggin annoying. I told paypal what happened, knowing full well my $ is gone regardless. Such is life I suppose.

Ah, well the story I told was what he said in the Sin Bin..


I reported my credit card stolen because it was and my credit card company messed up and reversed all paypal charges because they thought it was all unauthorized.

It's all being taken care of.

If thats a scam, im shocked.

Please, tell me how that is preventable? A mistake that my credit card company made? Come on now. You guys didn't even attempt to get the full story. Not once was I contacted. How is that fair?

Well, let me put it this way.

1. How is the burglar supposed to know that he is a member?
2. How it the credit card company supposed to know what he does for a living, and who he does deals with?

Also, if your father is a well known lawyer, then a couple hundred $ won't mean much to you (depending if you live with him or whatnot).

I'm not disagreeing with you; I'm just bringing it up because if it was an honest mistake I wouldn't think he'd have any reason to tell a different story to different people.

My paypal tells me that the sender has reported an unauthorized transaction. This too me says he told his bank. A bank would'nt request a refund from months worth of transactions. But i see im not the only one who this has happen too. On another note, if mike is vertified arn't we all covered by paypal i mean why do we pay the percentage too them. Seems everytime this happens paypal have a loophole for why im not covered.
