I issued a trade. $160 PayPal Friends & Family for a $200 Best Buy gift card.
He gave me the card to verify that the funds were on it. I completed a transaction with his gift card to purchase my own gift card. For some reason, Best Buy cancelled the transaction. When I tried to make a second transaction moments later, there was only $3.00 left on the card. LunarWolf98 had spent the remaining $197 at Best Buy.
I called Best Buy support and they told me that the gift card was used on about 6 items. Some shipped to store, some shipped to the following address:
3615 Nicholasville Rd Lexington, KY 40503.
I tracked this address to a place known as Simple Mobile (which seems to correspond to the PayPal account of simplemanpcs). I contacted LunarWolf98 & they are not being helpful. Refuse to issue me a refund even though they obviously ripped me off here. LunarWolf98 claims that they are 18, have no bank account, no credit card, & is using a friend's PayPal account. LunarWolf93 claims to no longer be able communicate with the owner of the PayPal account either.
I'm taking action to continue investigating & see if there is anything that can be done (seeking help from PayPal, Best Buy, and local authorities in Kentucky). At this point in time, it is safe to file a Bad Trader Report on this individual to ensure others do not fall for similar deals.
