somewhatfoolish Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I think Egg does, if his piecing together of his Invacar Mk12 is anything to go by (theres probably fewer Mk12s in existence still then whatever that aston martin is... )DB5 or less plausibly a DB4 GT.

Jim Bell Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 A board member has instructed their bank to reclaim a roffle PP payment made to me in February, on the grounds that it wasn't an authorised payment. This is something that anyone running or planning on running similar should be aware of. I've PMd the party with a request for an explanation. This is why we can't have nice things. Because folk ruin them. robinmasters, purplebargeken, Cavcraft and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loserone Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 After seeing this latest trick (which may yet turn out to be an honest mistake) I will no longer be offering a failback option of PayPal for any future L1 roffles.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeEP Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 That's something I've learned, as I didn't think you could reclaim a friends/family gift payment? Edited to add; not that I'd ever try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiled_Tat_Gatherer Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 ……. and another reason I don't do PayPal - too many sheisters. I do hope it's just a mistake. and with this (if it is as suspected) goes the 'trusted shiter' moniker - right out the fucking window.If this HAS been done, well done fella - you're a fucking proper piece of work. Actually asking the bank already - I do think it is not an error sadly. fingers crossed though Jim Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bell Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 That's something I've learned, as I didn't think you could reclaim a friends/family gift payment? Edited to add; not that I'd ever try!It's been raised at the bank level and the bank has contacted PP to reclaim. So though it's a friend's and family payment, it's been addressed as an unauthorized payment. Which could lead to lots of other financial unpleasantness. Last time something like this happened, it escalated to a fraud investigation and all accounts and cards linked to my PP account were frozen for the duration of the investigation. Which of course bounced my rent and direct debits. Which was nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadsword Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Very sad to hear roffles are being ruined for us. It’s such a simple system too, and I hate trust being eroded in the core community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loserone Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Sadly it just undermines PayPal as being a trustworthy mechanism for moving money. For all their commitments to moving the money, because the senders bank has asked for it back, they are passing that on to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loserone Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 From the member's perspective, it could still be an honest issue. Lets say they had connected another's bank account to their paypal, for one transaction, and then used this by mistake. That third party can legitimately say the payment was not authorised. But we will see how quickly the member, who was online this morning and has been registered for years, sorts it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 WTF??? On what planet is that an acceptable way of behaving? Makes me worried about running further roffles too - I rely on others to handle the Paypal side for me as I don't use them (for similar reasons to those given by ETG), and would be absolutely mortified if someone ended up in financial bother as a result of doing me a favour. Let's hope it is just a mistake. Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiled_Tat_Gatherer Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I just did a quick bit of research with our fraud team here..... - there's every chance this is purely bank system generated - as they DO randomly flag for fraudulent transactions etc... it could (and probably is) due to some automated system pulling all plugs. As Jim said - it could lead to a LOT of unpleasantness in his financial world though. I work in the financial processing world - and see far too many examples of people getting reamed - not just by PayPal..... cynical through experience from 'their' side.I'm sure (and very hopeful) this'll be a stupid bank generated error...…… member will be mortified and resolve immediately. Chill pill taken...…… EDIT - Jim - this could be, I haven't kept a tally….. , because you've ran a LOT of ROffles in a short time - hence an inordinate amount of 'gifts or family' transfers...…. that would trigger an automated flag and investigation. No idea if that is the cause - but it is a limiter/threshold driven automated alert - according to one of the anti-fraud gimps here. 2nd Edit - He did laugh a lot at the idea of randomly winning old cars based on the bonus ball in the lottery……. so it brightened someones day! scdan4, barefoot, HillmanImp and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the information passed to me by PP: It's a specific request raised by a named individual with their bank. The specific transaction has been reported by the individual as unauthorized. It's not a flag by PP themselves. It's an individual reporting a transaction as unauthorized with their actual bank. The bank then contacted PP. Anyway, as said I've PMd the person responsible so any further speculation is probs unhelpful for the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
