Watch out for a new method of Paypal Scam!

[Fotig]

People here are trying to scam people by telling them to buy gold (usually blade and soul) with their money.
It goes somehow like this:

They give you 140~170€/$ and ask you to buy blade and soul gold on sites
They let you keep 10~25€/$
You buy it and after a few days the money is refunded.

Just wanted to let you guys know about this method since it is actually quite a high amount of money and the loss of this can have impact.

This method has been around for years. The scammer uses stolen PayPal accounts to send you the money usually, and after 24 hours or more the original owner will charge the money back as unauthorized. But yes it's correct the way they scam you is exactly how you said it. They try to reel you in with the fee they pay you for buying the gold.

Ahh I see. I didnt know this was an old trick, I thought I should post this here since many have tried doing this recently!

Also falling for this scam will likely get your paypal account banned considering paypal will assume you were using your paypal account to filter the money through. Never allow someone to send you money to buy something for them. This will 100% always be a scam.
