SCAM SCAM SCAM...I am trying to sell a ring got a buyer, wanted to pay thru paypal. Got a confirmation from paypal money has been deducted from his ccard waiting on tracking number. when i scrolled over dear (my email address) I looked at the bottom of my screen on the bar and the email address that came up was for someone at yahoo.com. I forwarded the fake paypal email to spoof. I then had an old tracking #. replied that the ring was in the mail and gave them an outdated number. the guys english was alittle better, asking me for the correct tracking number before paypal could pay...hahahahaha Whats even better...at the end of the paypal email. it said" Note: All information that leads toSmith Paul is available with paypal. Hence, be rest and assured about the safety and legality of the transaction" since when did paypal say Hence, be rest and assured? I did not mail the ring! ... View more
