I fell for this scam about 2 month ago. You're welcome to laugh at me. I was googling and found a Ryobi air pump for about less than half price. My thought process was "Hey they accept Paypal, I can just dispute whenever I like. Even if it's a scam, I won't lose any money". I order using paypal as payment method.

A few days later I notice however that the amount charged was now double. I immediately go to paypal to dispute for the original price. Paypal takes about a week and rules in my favor and changed the amount charged to the original agreed amount. Two weeks later however nothing is being shipped and emails just disappear into a black hole. I try to dispute with Paypal and I can't reopen the dispute because I already disputed the first time!

It took 3 different representative after calling but they were finally able to credit me back all of the amount. It took some doing but after showing them that I have been a customer since 1999 and this is the first time I have ever filed a dispute. So don't be a dummy like me and fall for this scam.
