Quoted from ForceFlow:Right now, a common scam is for one account to PM you saying something like "hey, my friend over in (town) has what you're looking for. Here's his email address: [email protected]" Basically, that's sometimes to lure potential victims away from the site in case the account gets blocked while the correspondence is underway. Or, make a referral for another member's account who is in reality the same scammer, just operating two accounts.
Scammers are a tricky bunch and are always finding loopholes and workarounds.
Oh crap!!! My Sinbad for sale ad is for a friend. No wonder it didn't sell yet.
Quoted from jp1985:It is easy to spoof an email address to send email, to be able to receive email and correspond back and forth is a level of skill that would not be used by someone to scam a few grand.
If op typed it in for PayPal payment then it went to that that email address. Not a spoofed email. If this DJ person takes PayPal through that email address then it is him. Is this the same guy that was using a fake Facebook account to scam people out of money on FB?
Quoted from timab2000:Yeah the guy gets on here and complains and complains but he doesn't say about anything about what he's doing about it call your credit card company contact PayPal come on what are you doing don't just come here bitching about it
He did state it was from cash, not CC.
Agreed that he should call Paypal even if it was friends/family payment. They should have some kind of record of who the person is.
