I need to share that I was recently in a scam from Indonesia. The person contacted me through email wanting to purchase $300 in merchandise from me. He did not wnat to use PayPal (should have been my first clue). I used my other merchant account (now closed) and he sent me the information through emails. Once I processed the purchase he started asking me to purchase I-phone & I-pad merchandise to send with his order. I was going to cancel the transaction at this point because I felt something was wrong. TO shorten the story, I sent the merchandise and a month later received a chargeback for the purchase. THis cost me even more in fees. I should have listened to my instincts!!! So I am sharing in hopes that someone else can benefit from my mistake. I did not have a signature confirmation on the transaction and since it is overseas there is no proof of delivery. So I was not protected from the scam. Feel free to contact me with any questions. I was very disappointed with how my merchant treated me through this ordeal and I am letting PayPal handle all of my transactions now. They have always been great for me and the new card reader will be awesome. Thanks, Karen
