After reading the posts it is clear that some of the same guys continue to try and scam the innocent consumers by saying and using the same offers posing the same to good to be true lies over and over and over again. The guy who tried to scam me "Darren B" we shall refer to him. Made the axact same promises to many other PayPal'rs ... he offered me $700 over my asking price for a vehicle ... said he was away ...working lots ... could not make the pick up himself ...said he was buying the truck for his brother in Ontario as a surprize ... and would arrange a third party pick up and transport it to his parents so they could handle things in his absence. Found out he was operating out of Florida, and indicated he lived in CA. Said he could only pay via PayPAl, said he would sent me the funds and that I should receive a confirmation email, of course i did but something looked suspicious about it. Bc i just set up my account for the sale, i was unsure about things so i called PayPal customer service and they gave me good intel. Same as many others indicated, he wanted me to send back to the third party the extra funds he was sending me ... said i could use any WalMart, Post Office or Western Union that he incuded extra so i would do this for him ... which would go into my account ... once i sent him the 600 he had included to cover his proxy services... doind so would allow me to receive the funds he had sent as soon as his proxy person receive it first from me ... his proxy person was going to be some some guy by the name of Brown (red flag) in the US and his funds to me would be released into my PayPal account as soon as his receive them from me. I was so F'ing **bleep** off I wanted to track the guy down and send him exactly what i thought ... but I did not. How can we nail these **bleep**? ... If it seems almost too good, conveninet and timely to be true ... it is!
