Another scammer. I think a lot of these people are using throw away accounts that way even if the account goes negative after a claim, they’ve already got the money. Unfortunately for this guy PayPal was holding the funds for 21 days. He kept lying saying the cards were shipped trying to buy time cuz he thought the funds would release after 24 hours. Once he realized that wasn’t the case he ended up refunding without a word. Needless to say, I would stay away from anything this guy tried to sell.
I came to this thread specifically to wish you well, hoping that this transaction was going to go better than the last Scam accusation thread I began and you had to share your story in. It seems a lot of these scammers are pretty clueless as far as their schemes go. They don't think through hold times, reverse searching the pictures they've sent as "proof" or any sort of simple investigations and obstacles that will only make their attempt waste everyone's time. At least you're 2/2 on getting your money back from scammers after they've had it in their hands from what I can tell, that's pretty impressive in itself.
At this point, I'd probably lock the thread, or move it to reputation/scam accusations as that would be where this thread can develop further. You didn't get your goods, you got your money back and they've proven to send you fake proofs. No more can be said about this in Computer Hardware.
consider yourself lucky and never do this again
