I want to first thank everyone for their post on this board. It is still going on today and by reading your messages prevented me from making a mistake. I posted on Craigslist that I am selling my car, 4 hours later Ronald Willard text me to email him. I went ahead and emailed him thinking he was interested in the car. Next the buyer stated a private company was going to inspect and pick up vehicle. He said he was on a military base and did not have phone access. I believed him because military people that move back from international countries are just trying to get everything in order and communication is limited so I understood. He then asked for my PayPal email, name, address, and phone number. I gave him this info since I figured it's not private info and was the way to deposit into my PayPal account. The following message he said there was a issue with the shipping company and need to pay them in advance and he was going to give me $1,900 for the company and $200 for PayPal process charges. He told me to go to Walmart and get the cashier check. He then started to text me and said he downloaded the app on his computer to do so. He gave me instruction on to stand by and that he was making the deposit into my account. He then said to check my SPAM folder and follow email instructions. I got 3 emails asking for MCTN number. I did not find the number and google searched what this was, which brought me here. The email had errors in it. The date on the stamp was wrong and a Nigeria name appeared above Western Credit Union. I called PayPal and no activity was on my account, which means this was obviously a SCAM to get me to send a CASHIER CHECK TO THE SCAMMER!!! I have blocked the phone number and email from my account.
