If it smell like s**t and looks like s**t, it must be s**t. Come on man, as soon as the transport guy rolls away with your car, then he says "we never got the money" to paypal and now the buyer gets his paypal money back AND they have your ZL1.

Buyer is out of country and can't get to Western Union. Claims to be an oceanographer. He includes transport fees in what he sends me plus another 100$ for my trouble and asks if I will pay transport guy. I say sure, once funds are in my account I will send 950$ to transport guy.since Paypal will not release funds to me until transport guy is paid I would have to send 950$ via Western Union to a guy in Ohio, prove to paypal I did it, then they release money to me. Really sounds like a scam except I did get an email from Paypal saying the funds had been sent, they just wouldn't release them. Opinions??? I have seen over and over a warning NEVER send funds via Western Union for an internet transaction. Let me know what you think and by the way car is still for sale. Regards, Peter

The same guy is the one that sent you the email , confirming that the paypal got the funds
Clear as water to me

google the guy's name. My brother saw an ebay ad for a truck a few years ago that was too good to be true. The guy wanted around $1200 up front to pay the freight. I googled his name and had about 50 hits for fraud on a dozen vehicles.
