Should I sue Paypal?
Date of posting: 2010-03-01 16:20:31 Page Views: 180 Dispute with: A Business, Company, or Store Amount: $1 to $1,000 Description:
Last December, I received a job offer from a company in Ukraine via email. The duty is to withdraw money from my Paypal account after its customers sends it to me. The website of company is http://www.calibare.com (I think it closed already). I withdrew the first payment then sent money back to Ukraine via Western Union. Then I was suspicious this is a fake company because I have one cousin in Ukraine to help me to call that company but they said it was not company I would like to call. There are 3 total payments in my Paypal account, but I withdrew one and sent money once. I tried to contact Paypal to tell them the problem. They promised to help me to solve it. Some days later, I saw my Paypal account was frozen because of suspicion. Then I contacted them, they said they were investigating. I sent some proofs to prove my case, including emails with scam, Western Union receipt, emails I contacted sender to my Paypal. I haven't heard from them for a while then they said i need to pay back $503.65 withdrawn to send it back to Paypal because sender requested it. One of things is sender I contacted have no valid email and phone number. Paypal just knew problem when I noticed and asked their help. I emailed them they said I should wait and they would request more paper. Then on Feb 24, I received a letter of debt collector to collect $503.65. I contacted Paypal again but they said it's my responsibility. I'm so nervous now. Paypal doesn't help me much. I'm a student, I'm not that rich. Please help me to tell me if I should file my case to Small Claims Court to dispute the debt collection or should I lend money to pay Paypal? I filed my case to IC3 too and have proof of this.
