While trying to sell tires on Craigslist, a purchaser contacted my friend and wants to pay for their item by sending their payment for the item via PayPal, and give me extra money for covering the shipping. Then they want him to pay their shipper via western union to ship the items. This sounds fishy to me, how do we know if this is legit purchase? My friend gave his paypal Account number and the money appears to now be in his account, but Now he has to pay their shipper via western union to ship the items. I feel Like they could take the money via western union, then cancel the transaction via paypal and completely scam my friend of money.
