I just want to let everyone know what happen to me today. I am selling a motorcycle. So i have it out on Craigslist and other media . So i receive an email today by someone wanting to buy it . He told me he wants to pay me by Paypal and wants to ship it to his home. So i said OK . I then receive another email from him telling me he needs my help with the shipping company because they don't take Paypal and he need me to get them a money order for the 750 shipping charge but he will send me the extra 750 with the Paypal payment. I am thinking this deal is starting to smell fishy but Paypal is safe and may be he is deployed somewhere in the service . So i receive a Paypal invoice by email saying the 12,100.00 for the bike + the 750 are in my pay pal account waiting for me. The invoice looked real and said all the right thing . So i called Paypal by phone to confirm they had the money and sure enough they
DID NOT . I informed them of the SCAM and they also told me that they would only do 10,000.00 transaction anyway . I just wanted to inform everyone. I know allot of us use Paypal when selling parts or even cars. It use to be buyers beware but now i guess it sellers too.
