I just went through a similar deal. He wanted me to send him $900 for shipping my vehicle. I got a phony PAYPAL email, I reported him to the police. He called himself Kyle and claimed he was in the military. He also claimed he called the FBI. What an [***]!
He responded to a car ad I have posted on the Samba via text. He said he would pay by Paypal, but said he needs to send me $500 more, so I can send his driver $400 via Western Union and the other $100 was for Western Union and Paypal fees. I told him (he told me his name is Kyle), that this looks like a scam, and that I wouldn't do it.. Didn't hear back, so I'm guessing I was right..
