Bain Harry
Consumer Report

Bain Harry contacted me to buy my Jet Ski off of Craigslist. He basically told me that he could not call me do to being overseas and had a restriction on outside calls. That he was really interested in buy the jet ski. Then he e-mailed me and told me he hit a bump and do to his location he could not wire the moving company the money. He asked if he included it in the purchase price if I could send the money via Western Union. I received e-mails that I thought was from Paypal saying the money was there and the conditions of the sale. They needed receipt e-mailed to them from Western Union. I was out and was unable to check paypal website. So I sent the money $750 (plus $64 for sending it) to the shipper Kate Bellamy. Got home signed into Paypal and no information on my account awaiting a transaction. So I called Paypal. The guy told me that this was a scam from just how they address me in the e-mail. The e-mails looked official. I was able to call Western Union and cancel the wire. I'm still waiting to get my account credited back $750 so I lost $64 luckily it wasn't the total $814. Beware of anyone wanting to use wire transfers like Western Union and shipping. First time trying to sell something on-line and I almost got screwed big time.
