    bitcoin question

    A guy online is sending me a bitcoin and I'm sending him the price of one coin and a few extra bucks for him via paypal after he sends it to my blockchain wallet. Is there any way I can be scammed after the transaction has been verified? I know he cant reverse the transaction after i pay him.

    Once you receive a bitcoin, you can't be scammed by that person.

    With bank doors slammed shut, frantic Greeks are turning to online trading platforms to see if the digital money Bitcoin is a better bet than the euro.

    The world's largest Bitcoin exchanges tell CNNMoney they've seen a surge of business from Greece.
    Ten times as many Greeks are registering to trade bitcoins on the German marketplace Bitcoin.dethan usual, according to CEO Oliver Flaskaemper. Bitcoin trades from Greece have shot up 79% from their ten-week average on Bitstamp, the world's third-largest exchange.
    Even trading platforms in China are getting interest. LakeBTC, headquartered in Shanghai, is seeing a 40% increase in visitors using computers in Greece.
    Over the weekend, the Polish exchange Bitcurex got flooded with emails from Greeks.

    Send the paypal as goods and services and you can get an almost instant refund from Paypal if he decides not to send you the bitcoin. Just file a dispute on the transaction. The guy can't fight it because you aren't supposed to use paypal for bitcoin transactions and he won't have any proof he provided you any goods or services.

    If anything you can screw him... you really don't have much risk. Good luck.
