Paypal Payment for Shipped Goods Question

Well he said he was sending a "private courier" to pick it up for him. All in all, it's probably a scam. He stopped responding after I insisted on either e-transfer or gifting.

He also found my header via Kijiji. Not sure what he's doing on Ontario kijiji all the way in California. Haha.

There's a city called Ontario in CA. Maybe it was just a mistake?

I have had the reverse confusion happen when I was looking for a certain model kit and thought I found it local.
For some reason Ontario Ca and Ontario Ca seem to get confused.

I am assuming that through the course of the correspondence that this would have been cleared up.

I wouldn't touch this for any reason since there are just way to many odd things about it.

Yep, they do a lot.

Hmm, I'm not too sure that's the problem actually.

He says he's overseas in the US on business. Basically implies he's also aware of the difference between Canada, Ontario and US, Ontario.

I'm gonna look for local buyers. Too much troubles involved.

Yet another questionable statement really. Are they on here? Are they a "member" but have never posted? Not asking who just if they are.

It's been confirmed. He's a scammer.

I will post the fake Paypal email he sent me tonight.

He "Paypaled" me $1,400. $800 for the header, $600 for shipping. The fake paypal email then said I had to go to a Western Union and wire transfer the $600 to the shipping company first before the other $800 will go into my account. LOL

Thank you for the update. It is important that the message get's passed on so nobody falls for this sort of scam.

Yeah, the private courier is always a scam. And just FYI Paypal has given protection to some people who sent as "gift" in some instances so just throwing that out there as it won't "protect" the seller necessarily
