I was selling an iPad received a message via Whatsapp saying they would give me the asking price and £12 for postage and would pay via Paypal. All they asked for was an invoice. I agreed (but I believe it’s a scam) I checked online to see if anything popped up on other scam message boards nothing. So I thought I’d see how far this scammer would go so I could share my experience. I sent over the invoice he then said he’d sent payment via Paypal and to keep checking my email/spam folder. Neither money was credited or the email that he kept suggesting would arrive. A few hours late I was messaged again to see if email had arrived, I explained no funds had been credited or emails. He then messaged me this. “all you have to do after postage is to reply directly to the payment confirmation notice paypal send to you as at the time i deposited funds to your account,you will need to include the proof of postage,sometime like the shipment tracking number or postage receipt and once paypal receive the proof of the postage from you,they will immediately release the funds to your account and complete the transaction ,then you will be able to withdraw the money from your paypal account to your account. Thanks” Just so people are aware for the future I would hate to think some hard working person is scammed by these vile creatures. His email begins <removed>
