Default Beware posting on Craigs List
Posted a vehicle for sale on CraigsList. Got a buyer that said he was paying through paypal. He also wanted us to send some money to a person to come and transport the vehicle. He was also adding the money to the sale price. Got several emails from paypal giving us instructions to pay the person for the transporting and then the money would be released into our paypal account. Long story short this is a scam. The paypal emails look very official. Don't be fooled. Lucky for us we got suspicious before we sent the money. Paypal is working on this scam to stop it.
