There are three possible explanations.
1. The OP is lying.
2. The OP's Email account has been compromised either locally on his computer or remotely at his email server and the email attached to a Paypal account he has no control over.
3. The OP's Email account has been attached to the OP's Paypal account until last night however the OP is not the person sending the Skype messages.
I have told the OP that I confirmed his email address was linked to a Paypal account using an API and that now it is is not. I have also told the OP to check that his email account and or Paypal accounts have not been compromised.
On the theory of the OP being set up, I would not be able to discount that because some people with the right resources can go to great lengths to implicate someone they do not like if they are motivated enough. If the OP's passwords are not up to scratch then compromising his email and or Paypal account would be trivial.
In my opinion there is not enough evidence available to conclude that the OP is involved or not. |
Thanks so much for the info. Like I've said from the beginning, my hope has been to gather as much information as I can regardless of who the person is and just to warn everyone that if you are talking to this Skype user, you aren't talking to us.
However, according to
https://gfy.com/20518807-post1.html ,CPA has already claimed his email address isn't linked to his Paypal so that would eliminate #3......so, this means if #3 was correct, it would still revert back to #1, even if it wasn't him sending the Skype message.
Whatever the outcome, everyone is hopefully now aware and will be cautious before sending money out on Skype to this other user. We always give out invoices, rarely give quotes over IM and barely even use it since we keep everything through email and our client management board
