I sent $15 to the PayPal address:
U Chowdury <iwebtool@hotmail.co.uk>
and PayPal informs me that he received the money.

I tried to contact further this person, but he didn't reply with the link to the eBook and such?

Now, I am planning to cancel my PayPal payment, telling PayPal I didn't receive what I paid for. What I don't understand is this : did somebody commit a fraud, using the name of iWEBTOOL?

Forumjoiner, sorry to hear you got scammed - the good news is that it's generally quite easy to get a refund from PayPal... just takes a week or two, so be patient.

As a 'learning point', I would suggest you should never send money to a Hotmail account.

The thing that I hope everyone understands is that if you are sending money to somebody that supposedly represents a website, it would be wise to only do so if the email address includes that website.....

If there are ever any promotions sponsored by iwebtool, you can be sure that the email address that you need to respond to will be something@iwebtool.com.
