i have a mint 1000/1. i also have dealt with scammers, honestly it really sucks, don't expect your money back at all without driving ove to their house with a few friends and some *** kicking in mind. money order you have to sue someone. paypal protects you for the full amount only if you pay for their new feature, that extra bit for complete satisfaction or whatever (at least i think that is how it will work.) normal paypal will only get back their "best effort." my case - paid 190 to douchebag. he never sent anything. tried to pull back from paypal. got $37.44 - his paypal balance. they froze his account. done THAT'S IT. that's all they would do. wouldn't give me his real address, can't give any more money then that in his paypal balance. for the remaining balance i filed a complaint at i3c.gov - months ago though - haven't heard any follow up. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
