Hi All, I am asking this as a measure for future help. Suppose I pay money through my paypal account to some get paid to program site. Now after few days, the site turns scam. So is there any way I can get that money back. I have heard people starting some issues or complaints on Paypal against such sites, but I don't understand what exactly are they? Can anyone provide an insight to such problem? Note: Do not comment saying that we should never invest online and other stuff.Reply only in relevance to the question.

Good Day lucky, I believe you need to read and study the business your investing before you give it a try. There's a lot scam site now. You should read the F&Q first and get some proof. Investing your money online is a big risk, you should think twice. Because when you invest it, and it it a scam, it's a big lost, because you can't refund it. I hope it will help you. Thanks and have a great day lucky! :)

The scenario that you are presenting happened to me. I joined a site and paid with my money. Due to some vague reasoning like I was using a different IP address in accessing my account on that site I think I was scammed since they only did that when I paid them to make me premium and to buy one share. This are but small investments, but to my mind it created a feeling of being victimize. Now I cannot get a refund from the payment I have made. Even If I am daily writing the admin of the said site he give me more reasons why I was sort of banned from that site. So beware of paying sites that may turned scam.

When you invest in a site and that site turns into scam then you wont get your money back as paypal has no responsability about that as paypal is only concerned with the successful transfer of the money not more than that. You can not ask your money back from paypal as they dont force you to invest in those sites. In transactions where mylot is playing a intermediate role like in ebay, you can get your money back. Happy mylotting. Regards, harry.

yes i do agree that there are tons of sites on the web which seems to be trustworthy and later turns out to be scam as you have question that the way to get back your money.... It is just next to impossible to get it back as paypal is just a way for transaction of money...and we can't blame paypal for any site as they are actually not associated with the them :(
