REPORTING SCAM: BUYER WANTS A LARGE PAYMENT ON COLLECTION Is this a joke? I have posted an add on the gumtree to sell the bike for £150 and the person replied that he is sending money today and his agent will collect it at agreed location. I have sent him an invoice via paypal. He replied: "I am glad to inform you that i have made the payment! PayPal said that they have sent you a confirmation email so kindly check the inbox of your email XXXXXX I had a little problem with the agent they said they can only schedule the pick up date and time after they receive their pick up fee in their head office via money-gram,but due to me being in wheelchair i'm unable to get to a money-gram shop to send it. I added the £260 they charged for the pick up and £40 for the money-gram charges,you will receive the total sum of £450. You'll send £260 to them via money-gram today and here is the details needed for the transfer below: City: Nicosia Country: Cyprus Please let me know once you've sent the money so that i can make necessary arrangements. " I have called a paypall and they told be that his email is not registered so it must be fake! He is able to arrange a collection but not send the money via money-gram. Unbeliveable!!! This is defenetly a SCAM!
