Grade upto college level Magnetism

In the expression F = q(v*B), what is v???????????
Dont say that it is velocity of charged particle..
If its velocity then with respect to what? I mean for differrent referance frames it would be different. So the Force will be different.
So force on charged particle will be different for different frames. This is a paradox.
Pls explain.................

it is velocity with respect to refrence frame.it is not a paradox.the net force will remain same as pseudo force will be applied.magnetic force is frame dependent
