The scam is pretty simple. You will receive a fake Paypal receipt. The scammers hopes you won't notice & forward money to their "shipping company", by Western Union of course. That's the giveaway in these type of scams. The scammer always requests a wire transfer (cash) of funds. Any request, for any reason, of the use of Western Union, Moneypak, GreenDot, etc. is 100% a scam.
I just received a text from this douche claiming to be a deployed soldier. He pulled the same paypal bs with me. Luckily I googled his email and found this page. I riddled him with texts explaining what I thought of him. As soon as I mentioned "scam" the replies ceased.
Just went through the same thing with this guy. Instead of responding to the email like he wanted, called paypal to verify and they said it was a scam. Dont trust his email garrisond803 @gmail.com It sounded alright until he mentioned the western union money order. That is always the clue. He needs to get a real job instead of just sittin around trying to scam people out of theirs. I've had enough of these scammers to tell right off the bat what is and what isnt a scam.
