PayPal Family and Friends scam?

It was believed that a PS 5 was being sold and the seller wanted it to be paid for by family and friends.

Now, of course, the predictable has occurred. Money away but no PS5.

The price negotiation that this is a sale of the PS5 for 500 euro was screened. So you could at least show that you expected to buy it.

I know that there's no buyer protection here. But is there any point in filing a complaint or has the seller not acted illegally?

I wasn't the one who bought it, but my brother (13 years old) with my father's PayPal account. Now he is not even legally competent and is actually not allowed to "give" such amounts.

Do you think something is feasible? So at least so that the fraudster gets a fine and possibly sue for the money?

Well on the one hand you want to prove an existing sales contract on the other hand you mean in the same breath The buyer was not at all legally competent?

Either way, you have to go to a lawyer. He can then advise you which way makes more sense.

fe

The money is gone. Your father has to make sure that the brother can't get his PayPal account. If he makes the password available to him, it is his own fault.

Bu

In any case, do everything possible to get the money back and report and / or report the seller if he does not voluntarily pay the money back. I think it will be relatively easy because the buyer is not allowed to make a purchase in this amount due to his age.

fe

The buyer was not at all legally competent?

The father may not allow access to his PayPal account at all. He has to make sure that the minor son can't get there.

fe

The father has to put it down to himself, because he has to make sure that the underage son does not get the access data for the account.

Bu

Yes, nevertheless, the seller's fraud is worse and he should definitely bear the consequences, regardless of whether the father is to blame or not

re

However that has to be regulated with the pending invalidity, how do you intend to specifically identify the buyer?

From my layman's point of view: without being able to specifically identify the accused, the rest is wasted for the time being.

fe

As always, the seller will not be found here either. These fraudsters know that. He's certainly not traveling with his own data. The money is gone.

Tu

Yes, the money is gone anyway. Only the fraudster should get a penalty.

Because he does it several times. Lots of offers with exactly the same pictures under different accounts

re

Addition because skipped: the seller must be identified.

fe

Unfortunately you won't catch the fraudster.

Tu

How do you know?

He has several accounts on which he "sells" "PS 5s".

There are several very similar names on these accounts and the pictures are the same everywhere.

Sa

If your brother abuses your father's PayPal account (which I don't even believe and you have to explain it to the judge in a credible way), then your father is more likely to be liable who did not secure his PayPal account. How did he get into the account?

A report of fraudulent goods should still be made. Your father has to do that.

Tu

Yes, he just found the passport guard somewhere, or by chance or whatever, saw my father hiding them, or no idea.

ca

PayPal address or bank details are sufficient!

ca

EXACTLY😂😂

Boy don't you lie! As if your father is so stupid and leaves his passwords lying around and leaves his cell phone open because you need (if you pay PayPal) the cell phone from the father with the cell phone number to confirm! So don't lie around

Tu

My brother has a cell phone himself

You can save a mobile phone number on WhatsApp.
