Possible scam...your thoughts

[Fox80]

I have had this happen to me several times on Craigslist, as well as Racing Junk. com. What I did because I DID have a few legit people buy things from me and wanted to use Pay Pal, I set up a whole separate Pay Pal, email, and checking account just for this stuff. I leave $1.00 in the accounts that's it. I have heard stories of people giving out the Pay Pal info and having unauthorized payments sent from there account.

Man I've sold lots of stuff on Craigslist and have only had one odd email. I was selling my Vette rally's and some guy asked me to delete the add because he was going to buy them and wanted me to ship them. I lol'ed and spanned it. I will never ship anything on Craigslist. This site would be the only one I'd ship anything to anyone on.

This guy is pissing me off. He is now saying he will take legal action to get his money back. I have 3 emails saying that inorder to get the $775 payment he sent I have to first send $350 to the transport agency. I told him I will NOT do that so the money will not be transferred to my account. I know what he is going to do is contact paypal saying I owe him the money when I never got it Why cant people work for a living instead of trying to take away from those of us that do?

do you have the funds in your paypal? if not then eff him. if so, refund him and be done with it. he cant do a thing if you did not receive any money

No I dont there is NO transactions within the last 5 days in my history. I have to send a transport agency the $350 for shipping before the transfer into my account is complete. As soon as I read that I told him I wasnt going to do it and he can have his money back. Now he is telling me to get ready for jail I contacted paypal describing everything and included the 3 emails from his account with Western Union. Everything sounded normal until I seen I had to send $350 to get my $775 Whatever I have every bit of evidence I need and im not hiding anything. I will contact Western Union tomarow to tell them a member of theres is a scammer.

Its kinda cool that you say that because I just texted him pretty much that samething. I told him I was going to call his bank tomarow first thing to let them know the sh*t he was trying to pull and I emailed paypal. I even have 3 emails showing that the transaction is "pending" and that I have to take further action to complete it. **** this guy. I just went back and edited the add to say "CASH ONLY".
