Hi everyone,

I recently got tricked money from a fraud of buying Dr. Collins books. I bought Dr. Collins books from @PittPharm87 but I never received the books for more than 2 weeks now. I sent her the money $150 through PayPal and she received it but everytime I texted and asked her about the confirmation number/tracking number of the books and she never responded back. Please please be careful when you buy Dr. Collins book through the people from this forum.
Here is something I learned from this: When you pay someone for the book through PayPal, always use "Business payment", NOT "Friends/Family" payment. The difference of this is for Business payment, there is ONLY 2.9% fee charge (under sellers' right) and it's free for Friend/Family payment. But in case you get tricked like me, you can still fill out the dispute form and get your money back. For Friend/Family payment, you won't be able to get any refund under any circumstances.

Besides his email alias do you not have information on real name/account name from Paypal? It should show his name/address/other info after you have purchased from the seller. From there I would just do a police report or work with mods to get this handled.
