It has been my experience this summer that there are many people out there trying to scam you out of your money. This year I have now had 6 different individuals try to get me to send money via Western Union to their delivery/pick up company. They always say that they are sending an extra $1,000.00 to cover the cost of shipping and insurance. They then forward me a supposed paypal confirmation number and I also get an email, supposedly from PayPal, stating that PayPal is just waiting for me to provide them with the 10 digit Western Union tracking number, and then the money will be immediately posted to my account, but that it currently being held to prevent either party from becoming subject to fraudulent activities. THIS IS A COMPLETE SCAM, PAYPAL CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS CONFIRMED TO ME, THAT THEY NEVER HOLD ANY FUNDS WAITING FOR A CONFIRMED TRANSFER TO A THIRD PARTY.
