Ninja shocks Valorant star with huge donation after Twitch refund scam Red Bull \/ Twitter: Average_JonasChargebacks are a Twitch streamer\u2019s worst nightmare, as Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins knows it all too well, so when he saw Valorant star \u2018AverageJonas\u2019 get scammed out of over $5,000, he knew he had to step up and help. There\u2019s few Twitch scams more infuriating than chargeback scams. When you have avid viewers donate to your stream, it\u2019s a wonderful feeling. However, some viewers do it maliciously, with the intent of taking, not giving. After donating hundreds, or even thousands of dollars, viewers dispute the charge with PayPal or their bank, saying they were hacked and didn\u2019t actually donate the money. The money then goes back to the donator, and the Twitch streamer is left without the donations, and most of the time, also has to pay a fine on top. That\u2019s exactly what happened to AverageJonas \u2014 a Valorant Twitch star with over 130,000 followers. He had a viewer refund $5,400 worth of donations, which ended up costing the streamer $5,800 after accounting for transfer fees. I have received over $5400 in several donos from one person on @Twitch which have all been refunded even though donos are supposedly non-refund. To top it off, I have been personally charged $400+ in refund fees from @PayPal. If you think this is fucking unfair, please Retweet. pic.twitter.com\/4lNrG3GOHQ \u2014 AverageJonas \ud83c\uddf3\ud83c\uddf4 (@Average_Jonas) October 21, 2020 \u201cI have received over $5,400 in several donations from one person on Twitch which have all been refunded even though donations are supposedly non-refund. To top it off, I have been personally charged $400+ in refund fees from PayPal,\u201d Jonas said on Twitter. \u201cThis person used me and my community to gain clout and other benefits by acting like an extremely wealthy and giving human being. The person also pretended like the refunds were a mistake.\u201d Fortunately, Ninja got wind of the fellow Valorant streamer\u2019s woes. After all, Jonas is one of Valorant\u2019s biggest content creators, and Ninja is slowly working his way to the top of the pro scene. With all of Jonas\u2019 informational content, it\u2019s the least Ninja could do to put his fandom to use. Ninja replied to Jonas\u2019 tweet with a simple \u201cfixed.\u201d What he meant by that was he donated AverageJonas $5,800, to cover not only the Twitch donations from the user, but the PayPal fees as well. Jonas was shocked: \u201cDude thank you so much you\u2019re such a legend omfg.\u201d DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU ARE SUCH A LEGEND OMFG \u2764 pic.twitter.com\/xT87g2dLim \u2014 AverageJonas \ud83c\uddf3\ud83c\uddf4 (@Average_Jonas) October 22, 2020 It\u2019s a big win for Jonas, however, it highlights a much bigger issue with Twitch donations. If Ninja hadn\u2019t caught wind of the streamer\u2019s troubles, it\u2019s likely nothing would have been done. Chargebacks are still a big issue, and there\u2019s nothing you can really do about it as a streamer if PayPal or Twitch don\u2019t step in \u2014 like what happened in Jonas\u2019 case. However, now he can go back to doing what he does best \u2014 sharing Sova line-ups for every Valorant player to learn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
