The bank will reverse that transfer (the transaction was not authorized), but won't reverse the money you took out of your account to pay this guy (that he defrauded you is irrelevant, the withdrawal itself was done by you, an authorized user). See How do scammers retract money, while you can’t? for more realistic examples. | |
| Jan 29, 2020 at 14:40 | comment | added | Bach | @JimCullen so why does Brian insist that I be worried about him paying with reversible money? Based on the fact that he was rude? Because he is buying amz accounts? | |
| Jan 29, 2020 at 5:08 | comment | added | Jim Cullen | The "bank wire only" part of this is not necessarily a scam. PayPal and many other common payment methods do not operate in Pakistan, leaving few options. When I recently bought something from Pakistan I was nervous paying with wire specifically because of how hard it is to reverse a payment compared to PayPal or debit/credit card payment. | |
