Hopefully he does not chargeback anything...
Yeah, no kidding. That's what I'm worried about. That and the fact that he's shown me he has at least three different PayPal accounts he uses. I removed the positive trust I left him from the first deal we did. Even though it went smoothly, I wouldn't deal with him again and would recommend anyone else think twice before doing so.

He's definitely not doing this just to you but rather a whole range of people including what1005.
It seems like he is trying to get rid of his Paypal funds as soon as possible, and using multiple accounts to do it. He is definitely doing some shady stuff, and definitely violating paypal terms and conditions as they actually don't allow two personal accounts at one time owned by one person.

I've just made a connection between humbertdice and previous scammer alts ( Humbertin ... et al) so add more self vouching to the list of things this scammer's done.
gameristo seems to be staying under the radar just enough to give (or receive) trust to others who are actually alts...

Let me get this straight,the accused is sending free money to everyone ? I read the bold part that says "Please do not refund",I don't use paypal and don't know how it works but giving free money does seem suspicious to me.I don't know money laundering defines the case at it's best.
i think this may have just been onf off case involving the pharmacist, but then again, I could be wrong. the main problem is that the user is extremely insistent on paypal trades and going as far as to force them on people, as was in this case here. in my instance, i informed the user that I did not need a bitcoin -> paypal trade any longer, in reference to a thread I put up on the currency exchange that same day. However, even after being informed that i did not need a trade, gameristo either did not understand what 'no' meant or decided to attempt to push a deal onto me, asking for my paypal email address and saying 'ill send first, you dont even have to send me bitcoin for a few days.' other than the fact that this reeks of trust farming, it's just shady, given that he's using multiple paypal accounts and going as far as to force a deal onto someone. the fact that he's willing to just send money without any promise or deal for compensation, along with his using of multiple accounts, leads me to believe these paypal accounts may be stolen / hacked, and they might just be looking for a quick cashout. I have a concern about the multiple PayPal accounts and why anyone in their right mind would send PP funds without any agreement being made beforehand.

The whole situation is bizarre.

I personally find this sort of activity extremely shady.
He is most likely using Stealth paypal accounts as well which means you never are trading with his main account. It seems dodgy that he is trying to do payments from two accounts, instead of one as well.
Seems like he has done the same sort of thing to what1005: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.21780947
Thankfully i didn't trade with him. I was going to contact him and look for a deal but decided against it when i saw his post history. Be extra careful with PP, man.

he's sent me messages as well, even after explicitly stating that I didn't need a trade. I've left a screenshot as reference to a rating on his profile of the message he sent me if you care to see. seems like he does this with everybody though, judging from the ratings on his profile.
also for screenshots, try out sharex, makes it real simple and uploads them to imgur for you as well.
I haven't even looked at his feedback lately. I did figure I wasn't the only one he was spamming with requests.also for screenshots, try out sharex, makes it real simple and uploads them to imgur for you as well.

Right now I'm not concerned about the screenshot thing, as he's not claiming I never returned the funds and hopefully he'll come here to verify it.

I did a PayPal deal with gameristo a couple of weeks back. My bitcoin for his PayPal.
He sent the PayPal funds through two different accounts, which I found suspicious. The accounts had different names.
Then today, he sent $170 PayPal which I did not request, from yet another PayPal address,along with this PM:
I bolded the above part. I then sent him this PM:
I don't want to be involved in any money laundering, which is why I'm not sending the money to another address. I'm not calling him a scammer, but this is bizarre behavior at best.

Please don't send money to me again without a prior deal.
I don't have $170 in bitcoin at the moment, since I just bought something with what I had.
I will send what you sent me right back to the account it came from.
And I did refund the $170 right back to the address he sent it from. If I was computer-competent enough to know how to do a screenshot I would include it here. I don't have $170 in bitcoin at the moment, since I just bought something with what I had.
