Who called from 7408797677

was everything OK?

Got a text from her.  Gave her my email password from PayPal. Hopefully there is no problems

This person is a scammer tried to buy my phone off of kijiji and said she was a handicap and could only do it off PayPal. Told me she'd send me money for shipping and when I called paypal they were able to confirm over the phone and through email when forwarded to the [email protected].

I received text message from this number for Kijiji ad and they wanted to pay only by paypal. I sent them my paypal e-mail and then they said they have to include the shipping costs in the paypal transfer which I could only accept if I return a money gram for the shipping, which was more than the cost of the item I was selling. I did not agree with that but they sent the money transfer anyway and persisted that I pay the money gram.  Obviously a scam at this point!!

Craigslist, Kiiji, AutoTrader, Etc. Scam:

The scam works like this.  Communication is always by text or email for some made up reason such as they are deaf, they deployed and can't use their phone (then how did the text get out?), etc.  They think your item as described is perfect.  They might ask a few questions about it, and then will pay your asking price, sight unseen, because they are never around close by to come look at it (they use the stationed somewhere in the military a whole lot, or working overseas, or on an oil rig in the middle of the ocean, or simply fill in your own job here).  They will give you an extra $40 or $50 to hold it for them.  Then they tell you they will send a cashier’s check or money order for that amount plus extra for the “shipper”.  They ask you to wire that extra money by untraceable means such as Western Union or Moneygram.  The check or money order turns out to be bogus and you end up out the money you sent plus the bank fees.  Also, if the check is big enough you may end up being charged criminally.  Take the check and the envelope it came in to the post office and have them forward it to the postal inspectors.
In the case of them using PayPal, the same thing happens.  They send a fake email looking like it came from PayPal, get you to pay the shipper, and then find out that the e mail was fake and no money is available.
