check paypal paperwork VERY CLOSELY

[superpro1832]

Scam was this lady wanted to buy car for son. After several e-mails she said that the money was in my paypal account. Went to paypal account and no money. Received e-mail that she put $1200.00 extra into my account and that the $20.000.00 was available as soon as I sent $ 1200.00 to the shipper. I even received e-mails from paypal confirming the funds would be available as soon as I sent the $1200.00 to the shipper. Paperwork from paypal looked like the normal paperwork that I have always received from paypal. What I noticed was the e-mail from paypal was "member"@ paypal not "services@ paypal. contacted Paypal and sure enough it was a scam. Forwarded all e-mails to "[email protected]" which is the fraud control department with paypal. At least I still have my car and my money. These scammers are really getting good at falsifying paypal paperwork. So check very close to e-mails and now documents.

Rule of thumb...if a buyer wants you to send them money, it's a scam.
