I signed up today because I got scammed and want everyone to know what happened to me. I had posted some furniture for sale on Kijiji and I got an email response saying they would like to purchase the furniture and could I give them my paypal account so they could deposit the money in my account, I reluctantly gave this out and then waited. First I received this email: Thanks for the mail, I have paid for the item and the agent shipping fee total $1,200.00 using my paypal account. kindly check your paypal email inbox messages for notification alert from paypal regarding my payment. Locate a Walmart store and transfer the shipping agent fee $500 via money gram transfer so that she can meet up with the arrangement regarding pick up. Here is the shipping agent information needed for money gram transfer. Name: Anthony Porter City and State: Houston, Texas Zip Code: 77083, Country: United State I await your response. Thanks for the understanding. Then I received an email from PayPal (scam) saying that $1200 was being deposited in my paypal account. I googled the ID # at the bottom of the email and BOOM - SCAM!!
