Who called from 8672920265

This number is associated with the online PayPal scam. You post an item on Kijiji and someone emails you wanting to buy. The catch is you have to pay upfront this ridiculous shipping fee because they live somewhere remote or overseas. They send you your asking price plus this courier fee and the courier fee charge via PayPal. Check your actual PayPal account, no money. Fist top off is there is no way it would cost $450 to ship a small box from Alberta to the Yukon.

Be smart and savvy everyone, don't work hard to pay for some lazy scumbag to take your money!

Same thing happened to me. Report them and never transfer any money to someone you don't know to some kind of money mart.

This number contacted me for an item i had for sale. I live in a small community ,and they were getting a USA based courier service . So i knew something was up i googled this number and here i am writing this comment .....
the call type was a interested person about a item i was selling

It works pretty much just like the first poster in this thread said it does.  Variations include money orders and certified checks which turn out to be bogus and then you are out the money and the bank fees.  Cash only, transaction in a secure location (check with your local PD whether they allow those transactions in their lobby, many do).

I got a response for my Kijiji ad from [email protected] from phone number +15026227150. She said she was from Yukon but had a Louisville phone number (1st red flag) and requested I respond to her through email only. I had no problem communicating with "her" through email but I noticed her typing skills were awful and all her messages had spelling and grammatical errors without periods and capitals (obviously didn't use spell check and didn't finish school) (2nd red flag). She came up with the transaction that should work between us-- first she would send me money through PayPal, once I received the money, she would get a courier company to come pick up the product. I agreed to this and luckily my PayPal account wasn't updated so I had to do a few things before I could set this up. My asking price was openly negotiable as I am desperate to sell some books and she never negotiated the price after I sent her photos of some visible damages to the books. Most of the time, I deal with cheap buyers who offer 40% of the asking price or less, so having a buyer who is interested in paying the full asking price also seemed fishy (3rd red flag)! It still seemed weird how someone with Louisville number apparently living in Yukon wanted the textbook I was selling for her son... it's a University textbook so decided to google her and found this forum. Thank you for starting this forum! What mom knows her son's university courses where she finds textbooks for him? (4th red flag). I responded to her and informed her this wasn't going to work for me and posted this link for the reason why. She'll probably change her name and/or number for the future after seeing this. Hopefully "she" finds something better to do than to run scams and maybe get a job or go back to school where she will learn how to communicate in a more professional manner. I have not heard back from her after asking her about the Louisville number and Yukon residence or anything else. I guess she's moving on to the next victim.

Note to self and others: If it's too good to be true, it's definitely a scam.
