Interesting. The search engine I use, DuckDuckGo, completely missed that thread. Another lesson learned.
Also in my case, PayPal seems to be willingly protecting Lucas Gartner, the scammer. I have used PayPal over a decade and they never defended a scammer before. Third lesson learned.
Cheers.
Wait, you paid with PayPal? Credit card, bank account? You should be able to reverse this. Service/product not provided. How did the scammer refute that?
