PalPal Scammer +1 (989) 533-4369 BEWARE
 
+1 (989) 533-4369 Wayne Henderson???? Just tried to PalPal scam me for $980.00. Said I must send the $980.00 via RIA Money Transfer, then my funds would post to PayPal.

Called PayPal they confirmed SCAM!!!!! Never ever send money in this circumstance.

This is part of the Scammer's Bogus Email.
"This is to inform you that you are required to send a sum of $980.00 USD to the address below via Ria Money Transfer and get back to us with the relevant information which you will be provided with after the money has been sent. You are requested to give us the REFERENCE number, the sender's name and Address used in making the transfer after which we will then credit the total sum of $7,980.00 USD into your PayPal account.
Please, find below the name and address of the Transport Agent where the money should be sent via Ria Transfer:"

Had text from same scammer yesterday 2hrs after posting my ad. Wayne knows nothing about your ad except the title asks stupid questions and when challenged says everything is acceptable and then wants to Pay Pal the money to you. I always try to make them call me to give name and address and I said I wasn't willing to give up 3-5% to Pay Pal on a $40,000 deal. This is the second time I have posted an ad on RJ and both times have been contacted by a scammer on the first day. I sure wish there was something RJ could do about this problem there are so many good honest people that want to use this site and I think reflects badly on all.

I had the same thing happen to me today. Exactly as johnbelk described. I reported it to PayPal.

He appears to change his name but shipping address is the same:
