I had a add in craig's list to sell my tahoe and a tom gabrial called and wanted the vehicle for his dad but was off shore as a marine biologist but had a pickup agent that would pick up the vehicle he said he would wire the funds to my pay pal account I had just opened the account and had never used paypal before a message came that looked like pay pal even had their logo on it. Saying they withdrew money from his account and the pickup agents fee was included and that the money would be put in my account as soon as I payed the agent. I said no way the deal was off. They said if I didnt pay it they would persue legal action because i entered a transaction to protect the buyer I had to send the money and as soon as I gave them the western union info. The would credit my account. I sent the money western union to the sandra schuler / (pick up agent) I received an email saying the money would be put into my paypal account within 24 hrs due to high volume the next day it wasnt there I got another email then saying more money was taken fron tom gabrials account and I needed to send more money to another pickup agent thats when it really hit me I had been scammed. I feel very humiliated and dumb and angry that I fell for that, I have learned my lesson but want to warn other people.
