    I do not deal with paypal, only wire transfer and bank cashier's check. I always talk to the person on the phone and ask for up to date photos. I once bought a machine from a guy who just bought a home and the machine came with it. He knew nothing and could not even take off the glass. The deal felt like it was too good to be true , so I had him take pictures of himself with the machine and a current newspaper . I then did a background check on him and knew everything about him. It freaked him out when I told him where his wife works, I explained to him that I wanted to make sure it was not a scam, he understood. Do your own due diligence, talk to people in person, get up to date photos, don't deal with Paypal, try and have someone local look at it first. Scammers suck!
