Default Re: Paypal scams.

Most of the time they just send you an email that LOOKS like it is from paypal stating you have received the money. They have the logo down pat.

They are hoping you never actually check to see that payment cleared.

There is a guy overseas who uses the name Jordan David. Do an internet search. He is always out of the country and says he is a marine engineer or a petroleum engineer or something similar and that he is buying the item for his dad or his brother or his son.

Normally, anyone suggesing any particular type of payment before you have even made a deal is a scammer.

Default Re: Paypal scams.

The only way you are protected by Paypal as a seller is to take funds as "Friends and Family" option,
This has no fees and is exactly like getting cash, once you get it the buyer can't re-claim it.
If buyers send money with Paypal the normal way you are never covered as a seller, it is easy to buy a Car-Motor Etc.... and pay in full when a few weeks down the road the jackass has a complaint with Paypal, He gets a full refund and you are fighting Paypal or the buyer in court to get your item back.
A very easy Scam for anyone to do.
The classic scam is when you shipp something without a Tracked package to a buyer and they lie and say they never got it which equals a free item for the buyer and there money back. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]
