You take huge risks when you purchase a script on the internet, where you'll be potentially scammed by a bunch of kids. We're not here to assist you on an illegal trade that went wrong.

What did you pay with? I would look into disputing the transaction maybe? Take a lesson away from this experience, and try to be a bit smarter when buying things off the internet. I have no idea why people would pay money for SA-MP scripts.

That's an odd photo, considering that I've never seen the "The money is made!" message on PayPal, or the "Glad you have chosen. PayPal" one either.

I've sent him through his email. https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/send-money-online

Open a paypal case, as well post there the screenshot of the talk you had with him, about the money & the script.
In the best of the cases, you will see your money back.

Since he uses ****** Chrome he probably used ******'s function to translate the webpage into english language so we can read what it says. ****** Translate is not perfect which explains the odd grammar.

OP, you should check this out (click me) as that has a lot of information about chargebacks and how you can get your scammed money reimbursed to you.

Oh, fair enough then. I wasn't aware of the browser type so thanks for pointing that out.
