This number has just tried to buy a ipad from my daughter
Wants her to ship it from Calgary to Montreal
Scam for sure

Here is how the "PayPal Scam" or any other "online money service" works:

Says they will buy the item and will pay extra to cover charges by his shipping agent.
Says he will PayPal the funds and instruct you to send the extra money via wire transfer or pre-paid card to the agent.
He then sends you a fake PayPal deposit notice email, spoofing the official PayPal notice, that says the money has been put into your account.
You, thinking PayPal has your money, go ahead with the wire/prepaid transfer to the shipping agent, who is really the scammer.
After that, you then find out there was no money transferred to PayPal and are out the money your wired.


Here is how a "Craigslist Scam" or any other "I will send you a check for more than you asked" scam works:

He pays for the item + extra funds to cover his shipping agent costs with a bank draft or cashiers check.
He sends you a check, tells you to cash it and send the extra money to his shipping agent via wire transfer or prepaid card.
You cash/deposit check and wire/prepaid the funds to the agent.
Later, the check bounces as it was counterfeit. The money you sent to the agent, who is really the scammer, is unrecoverable due to it being wire transferred/prepaid card.
You are out money and now run the risk of being arrested for passing a counterfeit check.

person tried to by a computer off me at $100 more than asked and tried to pay another $150 for shipping. Was for his son. He sent me an email from e-Transfers declaring the money has been taking from his account and once I provide the tracking number the money would be released. I found it funny how there was no ID on the email. I called eTransfers and they immediately say its a fraud. They are meant for personal transfers and would never ask for a reference/tracking number. So i  called this man out on his fraud. Too good to be true is right.

BEWARE !!! THIS PERSON IS A SCAM ARTIST . DONT FALL FOR IT!

BEWARE THIS PERSON IS A SCAM ARTIST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SMS messages telling me that he wanted my computer for grandson.  I said he could come and see it and he said he was out of town.  Wanted my bank account details(asked for them the second time after I texted him and said to send a money order and I would send him the computer),so he could send me the money plus $120. for shipping to his grandson.

Yes, they are hard at it, hope he is stopped.
