I was selling a car, and someone said they would buy it, but with paypal, so I gave him my information, but I recieve a text from <removed>saying the money was sent, but is being held by paypal, and that I need to buy a moneygram forum at my nearest walmart and send the moving agent $750 in cash with the moneygram forum, and then they will send me the full 3,900 dollars for the car and shipping in these emails, there was alot of typos and run on sentences. I dont want to get scammed, so im asking here. Is <removed> real?
