Yes, do a search on the board as the "western union" scam has been going for a long while.
Not sure how anyone falls for it as paypal is hardly likely to want you to use a rival payment service ie western union.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.

Yeah, I've been contacted by "steven scott" regarding a kijiji ad I just posted. Just googling his name brought me here. I figured he was up to something and sure enough. the lowlife is still at it. Be warned folks "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is".
