That guy is trying to scam everybody, he should be in jail for that. I almost lost my item, but i was quick enough to retrieve it from the mail before it left. But I lost 70$ of shipping...It costs a little to learn a lot. Please make him stop and arrest him, he's a burden for everyone.
apparently this guy is trying the same scam on anybody who wants to sell something on kijiji.
I got the same msg a while ago for an iPad I put on for sale, and here it went: " iPad2 still for sale? i would have loved to come in person for the pick up because right now am on board in a ship. I want it post to my grandson and I'll be adding extra $120 for the postage to him...canyou post it to him ok?" then I replied: " sure I can do that if I get paid first"
the fellow then came back with ''Yes, I'll be paying you through a paypal account. Do you have account with them, so I that I can pay in now ok?
all this sounded strange to me and I decided to go little further and see.
I therefore promised to get back to him once I checked if my paypal account is still active.
When I got back to him saying that I could not get hold of this paypal thing and that I would want to be paid in cash, he confirmed my doubts: "I can only pay through a paypal account"
I know lots of people have been in hell with this paypal reverse the transaction issue, so guys be careful out there, scammers are everywhere.
Lol, he scams that way, he sends you look alike paypal emails, saying you will be accessing your money as soon as you send him the reference number of the package. But there is no such thing with paypal, you are supposed to have your money before you do anything. So i was lucky to retrieve my package the same day before it left the post office. The shipping cost wasnt refunded but at least i still have my item. I will keep harrassing him forever and ever.
