Tyler | Does this sound "fishy" to you? |
Scenario - Im trying to sell my 400 Dollar Playstation for Christmas Money
Buyer -
"Hello.
Do you still want to sale this item ?
Get back to me if is still available.
Thanks"
Me - "Hey. Yes the item is still available if you wish to purchase it. I should be uploading personal photos of it soon if you wish to see them."
Buyer - Thanks for your reply... I'll like to buy your item and pay you with cash through my PayPal account.. Currently I'm out of the State and won't be available for pick up. moreover, I'm buying this item for my
company agent, i`ll add the sum of $200.00 to the amount to cover the shipping expenses to him through (USPS) Global Express Mail
International (EMS). i want you to send to me your PayPal account id, so that immediate payment can be done, and if you are new to PayPal
you can easily log on to ttp://www.paypal.com/us and set up an
account with them with either your Bank account Information or your
Credit/Debit Card details and its simple and easier, just in few secs;
you get your account activated. PayPal is very secure and reliable..
anticipate a favorable response from you.
Why would he add 200 Dollars for shipping when he can buy the exact same thing used for a LOT cheaper.
Sounds fishy to me. How about you? |

Very fishy, don't deal with him. He is saying things about buying for his company agent. Company agents do the buying for the company and why would you care why he is buying it. He wants you to send it international which means he will try to pay with a check or his paypal payment will bounce. That is why he doesn't care about the extra $200 and will probably ask you to send back the extra. Then you will be out the merchandise and what you send him. |

It's a scam. They do this for everything..houses, puppies, baby items, etc. What will happen is that you send him the playstation, and his paypal info is not legit, so it'll bounce. You'll be out money and your playstation. Tell him to screw off. |

Also he wants your Pay Pal ID so he can purchase a zillion things in your name and stick you with the bill.
This is a spin off of the old Nigerian Bank Letter con.
Also If you bid on merchandise, he will send you an email saying he has accepted your offer because the winning bidder didn't pay for the item, send him the money and he will send you the goods. Don't Fall for it. You send your money and never receive the goods.
Remember the saying, if it quacks like a duck and waddles like a duck, expect duck sh=t. |

It's a scam. Dudes in Nigeria do this all the time. They do the exact same thing if you post a room for rent on Craigslist. Never give out information like that. The promise of extra funds is the first giveaway. The international BS is the other. |

SCAM.
He will send you a check that will look perfectly real but will be fake. He will instruct you to send the $200 "Shipping" to his "Shipper" after you receive the check. The check will bounce 10-14 days after you cash it leaving you on the hook for the $200 that you sent out. |

It's a common scam. |

total scam...don't do it. Once it's shipped he'll claim he never rec'd. it and reverse the paypal charge and you'll be out the money and the playstation. Don't get suckered into sending items internationally. You have no recourse if anything should happen. |

I could pick apart each and every line..... but the deal is that it is scam.
He is going to send you more money than needed and ask you to send the money back. You will be out of the money and the playstation. |

Definitely fishy- particularly with the awful grammar... I say steer clear |

It's a scam of some sort. A little different then what I'm used to seeing. Usually they want to send you a cashiers check or money order and it's for too much and they ask you to wire back the difference.
I'm guessing that since they are paying so much, they've either given you a bogus web link to paypal to get your info for identity theft or theft from your bank account. Another possibility is that this is somehow using stolen money or illegal money and somehow you'll be asked to forward some along to some other account.
I'm not sure of the angle, but it sure stinks of scam. Stay away. |

Yes it does sound fishy...
and you know the old saying.... "if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck... then it usually is a duck" |

Beware of anything that sound to good to be true
I have no experience with PayPal, but I see on their sight that one uses the email address not the account number of the recipient. |
