I am trying to sell some furniture on Craig's List. This lady was e-mailing me (Tracy Stein) - email address: tracyw. [email protected]. She explained that she worked on a ship and was currently in Burmuda. She said she would put the extra money in my paypal account to wire money to her shipping company by Western Union. Not too long after that, we got an e-mail from paypal (ficticious of course) telling us that the full amount was "pending in our account." We then went to Western Union and wired the money to her. ($708.00). When we returned home, we were concerned that the money was still "pending" rather than in our paypal account, so we called Western Union and had the wire stopped. Thank goodness they did NOT get the money we sent to them and Western Union refunded all of our money and explained that this was a scam. We also called paypal and they explained that it was a scam - that they money would either be there or not be there - never "pending." Please catch these people. Apparently, they are scamming many innocent people!!! The address for Ms. Gosnell that was given to us was 423 Old Church Road, Waxahachie, Texas 75165.
