I advertised my furniture in Gumtree, Australia. One guy sent me SMS on mobile phone saying that he was interested in buying my furniture for the price that I put which was $AUD 2,200. He said that he was out of town and was not able to come by himself to pick up the furniture. As to secure the transaction he asked me to creat an account in PayPal. I created the account and then I gave him my email that I used in my PayPal account. After a while, I recieved an email on my gmail account, which was the one I ised to creat my Paypal account saying that an amount of $AUD3000 has been deducted from his account and will not be credited to my account until I transfer the excess of $AUD800 to him via western union. I did that then I discovered that those emails that appeared to be from PayPal was actually from another email. This guy got the money and he came back for more I am currently contacting him via email to see if I have achance to track him down and I did not tell hime that I discovered his scamming.
