Posted an item on craigslist. He emailed that he sent a suspended payment to Paypal in excess of the agreed price to cover shipping. We were to send a money order or certified check to the shipping agent to cover the shipping. No payment was made to Paypal. They were just trying to scam the seller out of $500-600. Do not send money to the Phillip Robertson shipping agent.
Here is the correspondance.
You have received a PayPal Payment of $2,350.00 USD from Mark Akridge ([email protected]).
A temporary hold has been placed on this transaction!
As mentioned in the receipt of Payment and as per New PayPal Payment policy, we have fully debited the total amount (above) from the buyer's account which includes the buyer's shipper's pick up fees.
In order to complete this transaction and get the funds approved in your account. We advice you go to nearest Western Union Office, and send the $600.00 USD to the Agent and send us a Scanned Copy/Photograph of your Western Union Transaction Receipt.
NOTE: This is important as a security measure to ensure safety of this transaction.
Please, find below the name and address of the Transport Agent where the Funds would be sent via Western Union Money Transfer.
