I was selling a 10' boat on Graig's List and Mark just had to have it for his dad. He would only use PayPal. A very good copy of PayPal email mail came with an extra $600 above what I was asking with a message to pay for shipping to Donald Paquette and they would pick the boat up. I was to use Western union for the fund transfer and the extra $100 was for my time and expense. I did it and responded back to PayPal. I had noticed that the difference in the emails from Mark and PayPal look alike were just minutes apart. After 15 minutes I call my wife, see Googled this Scam website and told me to contact Western Union which I did. The money had not yet been picked up and was able to stop it. Western Union refunded by money and their charges. I was luckly.
