Re: Possible scam has me a bit puzzled
You could be right...no apparent problem. However, scammers keep coming up with new, ingenious ways to fleece the unknowing. With the danger signs apparent, I would not do business with this 'customer'. Cheers, RickO -
Re: Possible scam has me a bit puzzled
Just FWIW, I do at least dozen paypal transactions every year, not related to ebay, sometimes more, but I don't have a paypal account. I do all the set up and then use my mom's account, tied in to her email. (an email she created just specifically to use on Paypal) Not everyone who doesn't have a paypal account tied to… -
Re: Possible scam has me a bit puzzled
I think your gut feeling is correct. I am imagining the distraught email sent to PayPal, "I trusted this seller and he sent me an empty box! I don't know why he would do that!

Re: Possible scam has me a bit puzzled
Scammers are the most creative individuals; most are smarter than me, so I don't know what the scam is here.

Re: Possible scam has me a bit puzzled
Considering Jessica (we're not as suspicious of women than we are of other men) could easily purchase the item you are selling (based on perusing your listings and seeing the type of material you sell) within blocks of the Bronx you must ask yourself, "why is she going to such trouble with me?". When that question is not… -
Re: Possible scam has me a bit puzzled
I have one now trying to get me to send $200 to a shipping company for a listing I have on Craigs list. Then the shipping company will give me a code number that I send back to paypal and they will release the $700 that is in a holding account to be put into my account. I have gotten 3 or 4 very official looking e-mails… -

Possible scam has me a bit puzzled
I'm about as good as smelling a scam as anyone. Conversely, I'm willing to walk closer to the edge of being scammed than most because of my confidence that I can avoid the scam. As a result I've completed many good sales that others would have walked away from. I got an email that looks 90% scammish to me but I'm not sure…
