Fraud Alert: Sportsgamesondemand@gmail.com
A few weeks ago i put an wanted ad for nabokov varlamov and bryzgalov game used items. I got a response for a nabokov glove from email address
sportsgamesondemand@gmail.com
made a deal for $425 for a goalie glove, today i recieved a small envelope from canada saying the contents are of course a glove(with tracking of course)
phone number on package is fake, name listed is sammy ahearn but im sure thats fake too. i open the envelope just a letter saying thanks for your purchase take care joe. probably screwed since i bought it outside of ebay. if anyone has any suggestions for me please let me know. his paypal is listed as sammy ahearn and his email for that was sammyahearn@gmail.com
beware

I think paypal will still protect you, even outsdie of ebay. I would file a dispute w/ them asap.

I had something similar happen a few years ago. Someone cleaned out my account and sent me some random package. Paypal refunded my money. I hope it works out for you. File a dispute.

Not sure it helps, but did some Google-ing the address...Here is what you'll find when you zoom in.

How did you pay via Paypal? Was it with a credit card? If so call your credit card company they will protect you in this type of situation. In general always use a credit card when buying online.

I think we should ALL stay in tune to this thread because it is my understanding that if you purchase an item online with PayPal and you use your "PayPal Balance", (NOT YOUR CREDIT CARD OR BANK ACCOUNT) your purchase is NOT protected.
