Beware of shysters' selling BMW motorcycle parts.
I had a "what to buy" post up for handlebars at a couple of sites. Dude emails me and lets me know his "friend" Chris Ollis. He has the parts and gives me his email. After some discussion we agree on a price to pay with PayPal. The fraudster askes to make payment in the "family and friends" section. unknown to me there is no recourse at PayPal for this type of transaction. He gives me a PayPal account for payment, done. That is the last I hear of Olllis.
On to PayPal, I find Douglas Mizener. He has the account where my payment went. He acts as if he know nothing and blocks me.
It appears that PayPal does not deal with "friends and family" payment disputes.
On to Credit Card, dispute is there and on going.
I have never been scammed online ever. I just it was a matter of time.
