I got one I haven't seen on here yet:   From Darren Moore:   just thinking you might have had some buyer's interested in buying your Vehicle and i think the best way to outbid them is by offering you  additional 700 to your asking price on the ad,  Well am actually purchasing it for my Brother at home to have something to move around with when am not available but i won't be available to come for the inspection my self due to where i am presently . I do have a pick-up agent that will be contacting you on where and when the pick-up will take place after have completed the payment my self .   If you don't mind can you please tell me a little bit more about the present mechanical condition,how often you do the servicing and the history ? I will be waiting for your response then if we come to an agreement i will proceed with the payment immediately.     Scam, scam, scammy scam scam.  ... View more

Unnecessary hold on my funds - How do I get rid of...

I needed money moved to a different bank account in a hurry, and in my distress I tried emailing funds to another email account of mine, hoping it would give me the option of tranfering it directly into my other bank. Obviously it didn't, and so I immediately cancelled the transaction. Three days later, they took the money out of my bank account, put it back in (?), and then took it out again, putting my account into the overdraft not once, but twice (because I'd already found a way to move the money I had needed to move).    According to my "history," the money should have been put into my paypal account, but for some unknown reason they saw fit to put a "hold" on it first.  I have bills coming out of that account soon, and this unexpected lack of money is going to put a bit of a damper on that. Is there some way I can get rid of or speed up this hold?  I would also settle for an explaination as to why this has happened or perhaps a way to reach a real customer support person if they exist, everything I try under "contact us" sends me to some sort of FAQ or another.  ...
