I've always tried to be cautious,
I have had 4-5 previous experiences with receiving money using PayID or bank transfers and these have usually gone fine.
However, in this past week there has been issues twice.
They confirm via text message to pay by card, but once you arrive they say they can't find their wallet and ask to use PayID. The problem is, once you rave, they contact their bank and report it as a fraudulent transaction and cancel the payment.
I am sharing this hoping others don't get scammed like I was. They seem to set up security measures or find loopholes that allow them to contact their bank and claim the charges are false, so they can cancel them and get their money back. Be warned because having a receipt isn't enough in the banks eyes to prove the transaction is valid.
