paypal chargeback

hi.

need some advice.

i paid someone from this forum in Dec 2015 todo a fitbit SE for me. i paid him from my paypal acct. Subsequently he told me he had failed the SE and would refund me the money i paid him. I kept messaging him abt the refund and he said that his paypal acct had gone limited, so he would pay me in BTC. xmas and new year came and went and upto now, no sign of him and so sign of refund. It does look like he has scammed me. can i do a paypal chargeback to get my money back?

thanx for ur help

Yeah you can. And he tried to scam you.

Chargeback immediately! He doesn't have any proof to defend this case anyways.

What is he going to tell them? That he was hired to do something illegal? :P
