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.

    LunarWolf98's reason for canceling this trade:
    Trying to say i sent a used gift card after he verified the amount was on the card
    FenDiesel's response:
    The user took my $160 via PayPal and the spent the money on the gift card they were providing to me.

    Here is the exact events that took place:
    LunarWolf provided a gift card with $200 on it
    I verified $200 were on the card by using that card to purchase another gift card at Best Buy
    For some reason, my transaction was cancelled & I'm guessing its because in the time I was checking out, he purchased $196 worth of content from Best Buy & had it shipped to 3615 Nicholasville Rd Lexington, Kentucky 40503.
    I called Best Buy support to try to figure out what is going on. They tell me that my $200 purchase was cancelled and the gift card was used to purchase about 6 items for in-store pickup and delivery to the address above.
    I'm currently working with the Best Buy fraud department for more details. The only other proof I have is the order number: BBY01-789205049119.
    Best Buy's fraud department will be contacting me shortly with more information.

    I reached out to Best Buy and they provided the address the content was shipped to:
    3615 Nicholasville Rd
    Lexington, Kentucky 40503
    This lines up with a business known as Simple Mobile (which corresponds to the PayPal address the user had me send the money to). This is obviously a scam & I am working with Best Buy's fraud department on the matter.

    Further evidence of this scam is that the transaction number associated to this gift card is BBY01-789205049119.
