I have just similar scam problem, I put my car on sale on Ebay. got one woman contacting through my mobile and agree to buy a car but she is living in Irland and cannot come to collect the car herself so she has to arrange shipment company to collect the car for her. Tthe complication is the shipment company do not take payment by paypal and she cannot pay by debit or credit card as she didn't bring it with her, she is on holiday off shore somewhere!!, she also cannot go any bank to transfer the money!! The only option is using westurn union to pay off her fee with the shipment company... it has to pay upfront before they can arrange the collection. Therefore, she arrange to pay all cost including shipment fee through my paypal account and ask me to help her paying the shipment company for her by using westurn unioun facility... I was nearly paying that off to westurn union for her BECAUSE I receive scam email from paypal notified me about this payment, said that paypal had hold this payment for me and I have to pay to westurn union to get the code to confirm the payment... then paypal will release the money to my account after receiving this payment... It looks so real and cannot tell that is not from Paypal itself If not somethings that I have concern about, i.e. the agreement to buy was so easy and she didn't want to see the car before purchasing... !! Anyway I check with Paypal then this came out as it is a SCAM .... PAYPAL will never send email to customer as a middle man to ask sender or receiver to send any money to anybody for anyone to complete their transaction So just be careful and hope this help
