Hi Alex, If it helps, I got hit with the same scammers. I was selling an antique bookcase on kijiji and was contracted by a "woman" who agreed to purchase and then told me she was now living in UK and would arrange for her shippers to pick it up. She said she would the money via paypal, no mention of shipping fees! The next thing was a really good replication of the paypal email formats and a notice telling me I was being sent $900 extra for shipping costs which I was to then send via Western Union. Too many red flags in my emails with the "buyer" so I contacted paypal by phone and forwarded it on to them. I have since received several emails supposedly from paypal threatening me with legal action unless I forward the money!!!! I don't think so.........good try though. I really hope no one is actually falling for it.
