Mahmoud Motaz scammed me for $59.44. Internet

I searched online for a car battery that I needed, using Google Search.  I came across an online ad for one at $58.44.  I paid that amount on my credit card via PayPal. I did not get confirmation of the sale.  MY CC company spotted the scam and cancelled the transaction, BUT PayPal allowed it and passed it on to my bank, which paid the amount to Mahmoud Motaz, the seller.

PayPal alerted me to the possible scam, but approved the transection anyway. so  my bank (linked to PayPal) paid the amount.  I have a good my credit card company.  They spotted the scam and canceled transaction/payment.  But PayPal and my bank allowed it and paid $58.44.  I am very unhappy with my bank and especially with PayPal.  Neither will get my business again.

Mahmoud Motaz is a talented scam artist.  I think he hacked into Zorstore.com to as to compete the transaction.  Worse, PayPal failed to follow up on the suspected fraud that they reported to me.

PayPal has changed in recent years.  I am in the process of closing my PayPal account.  And my bank account.  Both concluded that there was no fraud!!  PayPal used to be very good at stoppage fraud in it's tracks.  Not anymore.

So beware, especially of Mahmoud Motaz.  But also of PayPal and, possibly of  your bank.

I  learned a hard lesson with this scam.  I no longer trust PayPal.  I will switch to Zelle for all future online payments.  And PayPal is history.  How the mighty have fallen..  But also of PayPal and, possibly of  your bank.
