I'm confused... He has a great rep here
He's been here a few months, has only a few trades. How is that great rep? Why would you risk that much if you know his profile and reputation is not worth $280? You've been here long enough, but still made a newb blunder.
Call Green Dot and report the card. Tell them you have the physical card and receipt you can take a picture of. They'll probably void the balance and ban his prepaid card or paypal that was used to load the MP. However, don't expect to get a refund from Greendot or CVS.
Harsh as it sounds it would be a negative if they did refund you... horrible as it sounds people have to learn the hard way that escrows are essential here. You say you've been scammed before why on earth would you do this trade as you did yet again? Learn something this time.
Cause escrow shouldn't be fucking needed for such an easy ass transaction... THAT'S WHY? You people make me sick! Rather than admit that we have an issue in bitcoin, you say escrow. So, then I have another account to research? Is this escrow safe?
You people think that bitcoin will ever go anywhere? Yeah, I'm sure my Dad and wife and grandpa and neighbor are going to really go find an escrow because they want to buy a half bitcoin. Sure they will. None of them would even go get a Money Pack like I did. Glad you guys are so fucking smart.
Look at me, I learned to use escrow and tell others that it would be harsh if THEY GOT THEIR FUCKING MONEY BACK.
You are an idiot sir.
The more you rage, the more happy I am you lost your money.
You're the idiot, and as a result of your actions, scammers will hang around these forums and scam other people... you should know better.
