[HELP] Sent money, didn't get account

[Jus2ruff]

Hi guys.

So i bought an Xbox One account here with games but ended up giving 30$ and getting a non existent account.

Being new i didn't know what the process is so i contacted the buyer via PM, where he asked me to contact me via kik

There he forced me to send the payment via PayPal as friends and family, and once cleared he'll send the details.

After i sent the money, it came up on his side as pending since it was a bank transfer which takes about 2-3 days

After some insistence he did give me an email and password, which turned out to be incorrect..

Long story short he isn't replying now. Is there anyway to stop or cancel the payment, i'm not mentioning the username as i still have little hope that he may actually give the account.

if there is anything i can do in the worse case, do let me know.

Thanks!

Contact your bank to cancel payment. Then open a dispute in our active dispute sections

I'll try but i think the transfer can't be undone as per what iv'e read

If the funds from your payment came from a credit card or bank, you can contact them to dispute it, however that will end up getting your PP account closed.

In the future, I recommend using Trade Guardian, it provides item and payment guarantee to prevent this type of scam.

Thanks for the help. I reported the transaction as unauthorized to paypal and they cancelled it.
Whew, but do ban the guy, he is still active on the site.
