Default BetJam $200 account to account Transfer For $250 in your Pay Pal

If this is in the wrong forum, I apologize.

Anyone want to deposit $200 into my BetJam account from their Jam account and I'll transfer $250 into their PayPal?

Thanks

Thats what I was thinking. Even if the guy is legit, the person who says they help may be a scammer. Wouldn't be worth it. I remember when I had PayPal and tried to ask for help, it was an idiotic move on my part. You can't trust anybody with money.

Did you get scammed? I thought I would be "safe" if someone offered who had a good reputation here.

No, I didn't get scammed because no one offered. Just saying that after I thought about it, I was idiotic for setting myself up for a fall. Not saying your an idiot, just can't trust anybody. Plus I don't believe many people would be willing to help due to the fact everyone is leery of scams regarding $$$ and online gambling. Just my opinion. I hope somebody helps you out though.

The real problem is that you could send $250 to someone via PayPal and then they send $200 to your BetJam acct. and then you put in a dispute and try and get a refund. What are you going to tell PayPal, "I can show you my BetJam acct. history and sent someone $200." PayPal restricts online gaming so the person would be screwed.

I am new to PayPal. I guess someone could do what you say. That I why I wouldn't go along with a newbie. If one of the long term regulars offered, I would go ahead. If they screw me over, shame on me.

I'm saying you could screw them over by opening a dispute and they would have no recourse to show PayPal they gave you $200 via BetJam because its illegal to use PayPal for gaming.

I guess I could if I was a scum bag, but I'm not. I'mm really not privy to Paypal policies. Anyway if it gets done, it gets done. If not, so be it.

How do you do that via Paypal? I just opened my Paypal account on Monday. I don't have the card since you have to wait 60 days.

Thanks

why did you open paypal? you posted this at 3 different sites how much do you want in your betjam account a $1000 for $1250? seems odd you use paypal to fund gambling when you could just send betjam a WU or MG and not pay a high transfer fee

I think maybe somebody might have paid him via PayPal. I don't think he intentionally funded his acct. with PayPal for gambling. Just a hunch, but maybe I'm wrong.

Ummmm... you can always cash out to your bank account from Paypal. This sounds like a scam to me.

Well, myself I didn't want to put my bank acct. online with PayPal. So what I did was send the money back to the person and have them send me a MO and then I cashed it and like most people I then sent the Money I wanted at the Greek by WU. However, I think your right, this does sound like a scam.

Actually, it was 4 different sites. I'm aware of other funding methods.
