My Boyfriend was selling a wheelchair on Mercado Libre (kind of Ebay in Chile) and a man sent him his email saying he was interested in buying (he said he was from USA and was going to send someone to pick it from his house)...the price of the wheelchair was $80 usd, and look what this man sent:
Merchandise amount $100
Transport Charges $350
Western Union Charges $20
Total amount $470
In the status of the transaction says:Status : Pending Transport Company Awaiting Payment.
Now he is saying that he has to go to any Western Union / Money Gram office with cash from his own and send $300 USD to his address so my boyfriend can get the paypal money....looks like a total scam, I just dont know how it works...if he can reverse the paypal payment, or what. Also, how can we report this to paypal so we know what to do? What are the risks? He has some details of my boyfriend (address, paypal account, full name)
Thank you very much!
