First it was Adriana Mitchell and this is what she said after asking about a flat file cabinet we had for sale on craigslist wanting to purchase it sight unseen:
I was just about to make the payment when I had little problem with the picking up, The picker said he'll not come for the pick up unless I pay the pick up & delivery fees first in order to be able to schedule suitable pick up date. The only form of payment he accepts is western union Transfer. I'll include the $450 he charged for pick up and delivery to the payments i'll send to you through Paypal so you will help me send it to the picker via western union Transfer as soon as you receive the payment from Paypal. I'll include $50 for the western union transfer charges to send the pick up money to the picker.
Thanks in anticipation.
She/he then writes this: hi, i just sent the funds. As this entails quite an amount, i used the buyer safety purchase program. Hope you got the confirmation from PayPal. Please check your Paypal email folders as well as spam folder for the confirmation of the payment and let me know. I told the moving company to contact you so you can give them a time you will be available for the pick up. Keep me posted when you send the funds to them.
Here is the address given to me by them for the pick up funds.
Name: Steven w. Mendes
City: Livingston,
State: ca
Zip code: 95334
Am very sorry for any inconvenienc
This is what I wrote back: Hi, Sorry, but your on your own for the pickup and delivery. You need to make your own arrangements on payment, etc. Thanks
Mean while this is what I receive from the so called moving company:

However, we have been asked to expect the pick up cost from you through Western union. You will send the pick up cost to our agent in charge of the pick up. Below is the details you will need to send the funds.
