screwed over again by a vbulletin.org member?

We cannot stop you from depositing money into another person's Paypal account. There is no way we can supervise what you do with your money. You have to be careful with paying someone over the internet without doing checks and things. Remember, you can always reverse the charge via Paypal's chargeback, if it's fraud.

It's best to do business with members who are established, well-known, with a known portfolio, and a site. I would get them to fax you a signed contract as well with phone, address etc. details, and I would speak to them in person FIRST, before paying them money.

It is important to be cautious with your money.
