I’ve just been scamed with a fake PayPal email by Vera <removed>! Sent me a txt 20 mins after I had uploaded an ad for my camera, offering to pay an extra $100 just to take the ad down! Said it was for her daughters graduation, I even had to gift wrap it! The PayPal emails said that the transaction had been processed, but the funds would be available AFTER I sent the camera EXPRESS to CHINA. Didn’t realise till 2 days afterward when I got another PayPal email saying that ‘they had taken too much money out’ and I had to refund $350 through WESTERN UNION to an address in China, and They couldn’t ‘unlock’ my account until I sent the money. Can’t believe it, first steal my camera and then try to steal my money?! The emails were all sent' on behalf of <removed> by <removed>.Been reading now that PayPal will never hold funds until an item is shipped, and obviously never ‘take too much money’ out of an account. Beware of this fake Vera <removed> email <removed>. Very angry and frustrated. DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AS ME! Hopefully the post office can get my camera before it’s delivered!
