Default please ban zurk20, tried to scam me

I was trying to sell a SR3100 pro receiver. I tell him my paypal address on where to send payment, and he pms me that money is sent.

I check and see I get an email saying Stan zuercher sent you payment with paypal. As always, I check my Paypal account and not click on any links in the email address which may lead to a phisher site. I end up going through the real paypal site by opening a new tab and typing in www.paypal.com

Sure enough, my account says I have a $00.00 balance. Nice try, I'm not a retard

So next time you receive payment through paypal
1. check to see if you get an email of payment sent
2. do not click links in the email. Instead open a new window/tab to go directly to www.paypal.com
3.log in to paypal and check your balance

If the balance isn't the amount you expected, report the person to every forum and forward the fake email to [email protected] just like what I did.

Did he send you an e-check or a payment that requries clearing time. If you do not have a premer paypal account, you can only recive payments from balance that people have in there account, and not credt cards or transfers. The premuch make you upgrade if you want to get most peoples payments.

I'm pretty sure I've dealt with an e-check once a long time ago. It won't say the balance in your account, but the transaction should be in the details. You would be able to click the details and see it requires a couple days to clear before its in your account.

I checked mine, and sure enough, there no transaction from zurch20/Stan zuercher in the details section of my paypal account.

I really didn't have to check anyways because he did a horrible job of copying the Paypal "money sent" email

Also, the fact that he pms me twice within 5 minutes supposedly when he's sending the payment. Then when I immediately check my paypal account to see there is no balance/transaction and email him if hes gonna send me real payment to get no response and see him log off means hes up to no good and he feels stupid for trying something like that

Also, he never asked for a picture, which really made me suspicious of him

SR3100 "pro"? Is this something newer than the SR3100 DSM2?

I don't have a premier account?

Also, I've never heard a buyer being able to cancel his own payment, especially by credit card. So I don't know what that email you just made up and sent me 20 minutes ago

I'm a scammer too? I guess all this doesn't count as feedback then

The first time I did a trade, it was for an airsoft gun. The agreement was he ships first(parcel post), and once i received it, I called him to let him know I received it, and I shipped it out the next day USPS priority mail and I called him again to let him know I shipped it and I gave him the delivery confirmation number.

The most recent trade I did was about a month ago. You can my feedback thread here and what the other party had to say about the trade. My sn there is pinoyboy

I also did a sale for an airsoft gun for $970 and the guy lived in the UK. I asked if I could have the money he sent me post in my bank account just in case, as i was ripped off before in another transaction that wasn't necessarily related, but I was just being careful since he was overseas(UK). What we did was also email each other pics of our photo ID(of course, with some info blocked) Anyways, after the money posted, I shipped the gun out as promised, and he received it in 2 weeks.

This thread will probably get locked and deleted, so you can get the last word if you want, but i'm not gonna waste my time checking

Well I come home see all your trash talk, go to paypal is says payment unclaimed, and asks if I want to cancel. I never had that happen before, so instead of talking trash before you know the facts, ask first the next time. I always pay immediately & when I say I do..

Can't say I'm a real fan of PP right now but...


I don't have a premier account and I can still accept money from a CC. Only thing is, I get hit with outrageous fees.... if I "accept the payment".

Thanks for taking the time post an irrelevant comment to this thread. Pretty sad as it shows you have nothing else in life better to do.

Also, maybe you should try prnt scr and paste in paint like I did before you take more time from your busy day to post an irrelevant comment, I have no skills in photoshop.

Any further posts, I'll ignore, so you can get the last word if you want, just know that your wasting your own time for no reason again.

Yes, because I am sure everyone here would post ALL the account info instead of taking out the personal info.
