Hi Sekjen Willy Kosasih (freewilly), On 08/26/18, I paid $261 USD (see pics below) for two Yonex MP100 rackets but you claim you never received the money. I opened a dispute with Paypal and they found that the money was transferred SUCCESSFULLY from my account to his account (see pics below). You said you checked everyday from 08/27/18 to 08/30/18 but the money is not there. I am currently working with Paypal to recover my money. Would you help me out and please take a screenshot from 08/26/18 to 09/01/18 of your Paypal activity screen showing your account name? I will show that to Paypal to prove to them that you never receive the money. I appreciate your help.

Hello, seems like I have few similar issues as well: 1. bizarre that you claimed the racquet was still available on the 28th, even though you have sold it to another member with payment on the 26/08/2018, as seen on virusvoodoo's transaction. 2. payment send from me via paypal on 29/08/2018 for 2 racquets as agreed, though you claimed you did not receive it [last checked 30/08/2018]. 3. I requested you to speak to paypal, and you replied saying that paypal DE said there were similar issues like this recently on the payment system, no funds received, and paypal DE offered you no solution. 4. I confirmed with paypal europe on 30/08/2018 - funds cleared into the email you supplied [fre**********@hotmail.com] without issues, but they said there were no known issues with paypal payment system as you suggested. 5. no communication since. Can you please clarify? Many thanks.
Well as a matter of fact..i am also in talk with other member whom i sold MP100 too. And he accused me of scamming both of you. That id absurd! I am a known seller here..and i have nothing to do with all the issues. And weird thing is that i didnt receive both payment. Paypal assured him that he will get his money back...so nothing to worry about,right? I myself has this issue! I paid for someone for a speakers..and no money arrived! I have been waiting for my money til today. If the seller scammed me...how could i know? I am counting paypal to resolve this issue.
I didnt suggest that paypal has issue on their system...i said some thing wrong on the way. What, i dont know. So i am really sorry for everything.
There is obvious something not quite right here, whether it is related to tech, miscommunication, or something more sinister. I think all parties only want the issue clarified and resolved as smoothly and quickly as possible. It would be great if you can engage us in this effort. Thanks.
I have bought from FreeWilly many times without any problem so I very much doubt he is causing any issues. I have had many issues with PayPal so I expect that is where the problem lies. I'm sure Willy will resolve this as soon as possible.
Unfortunately I've had a bad experience with Freewilly too - initially I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, but due to knowing other people who have had the same experience I am also coming forward to share my experiences. I believe he is a scammer and fraudster and I no longer want him to do this to other people (I also regret not posting sooner as I could have prevent other people from being de-frauded by this person). I have already posted on his profile page so people are aware of what has happened - http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/index.php?members/freewilly.119935/ I had initially written a longer post on his profile but then realised I had a maximum of 420 characters, so the original text is here:

To his credit, when I asked him for screenshots of his PayPal transactions he did provide them to me. The transaction should have occurred on the 21st of June, however what he did was show me transactions from a date later than 21st of June to the 21st of June only where it showed one transaction (meaning there's a possibility that other transactions on that date were cut off from the screenshot). When I pointed this out he got a bit defensive and after some urging he sent some more screenshots, this time a similar one to before - from a date later than the 21st of June to the 21st of June - again with the same transaction showing. He also sent a screenshot for transactions before, however the latest date it showed was 20th of June, again a possibility of my transaction being cut off from the screenshot. Is this a coincidence? Probably not. ] If you would like to see these screenshots I would be happy to provide them to show you what I mean, but I don't want to put them here as they show other transactions and potentially information that shouldn't be public.
People can have accounts compromised and become rogue. I admit it's not often such a thing happens, but it is certainly not unheard of . In this case, I hope he can resolve this too as I don't like the idea of scammers openly operating in BadmintonCentral. However, @freewilly does have an overwhelming amount of hard evidence against him right now.
