I had an item for sale on kijiji. Terry Scoffield offered to pay more than listed price. Sent $500 extra dollars asking me to pay $500 to Money Gram for him based on his trust in me. Due to the fact he is a sailor and is on the sea that is the only way he could pay for item. Sounded off right from beginning. Then he sent message saying the money is sent and to check. The paypal account said we do not get the money until we send $500 to Money Gram. TOTAL SCAM for sure. I wrote back stating that and he hasn't replied when he seemed in such a hurry to buy this item for his daughter, Then I get two calls from 12392054843. DIdn't answer.
He just about did to me too. He gave me the same story as D, however sucker I already knew that PayPal does not request we transfer money first before we get our money. Guess what when he called me he got a really big surprise I told him I already was on the phone with PayPal and had sent the emails he send me to paypals spoof email address so now they have his email address. If you call the phone number back it will be someone's voice mail. He also text me from a phone that was listed in Montana 4062137012. Boy he knew how to hang the phone up fast after I told him what I was going to do.
I got the same call about an aquarium on craislist, he said he'd pay a bit more but I had to release shipping funds because he was a sailor and couldnt contact his shipper directly etc. He used the name Don Bruce but had a thick Nigerian accent.
