I got scammed by Brandon Kagey from Scriptworkz:
https://gfy.com/sell-and-buy-forum/11...gmail-com.html

I filed a Paypal dispute, and they closed it within 6 hours saying:

We completed our investigation for the following transaction:

Case ID: PP-003-800-859-XXX
Transaction Date: Feb 24, 2015
Transaction Amount: -$XXXX USD
Seller's Email: [email protected]
Seller's Name: Eric Frye

Unfortunately, we are denying your claim because your purchase was for a
virtual, digital, or intangible item. Indeed, our PayPal Purchase
Protection only covers claims involving physical items that can be shipped
and tracked. Payments for intangible, digital items or services are
therefore not covered.

We encourage you to work directly with your seller to resolve the problem.
You'll find their contact information on the Transaction Details page.

It's nice to know Paypal doesn't protect buyers any longer and they are now protecting scammers. I am pissed beyond belief that Paypal is taking this stance. So basically what Paypal is saying is that if we buy anything that is not a PHYSICAL ITEM, we as buyers are fucked all day every day.

What a bunch of bullshit. This basically protects the scammers because they don't have to give us what we pay for, as paypal protects them.

I didn't pay from my credit card so I can't do a charge back either.

Any suggestions on recovering my money or reasoning with these Paypal idiots?
