Paypal Scam
Consumer Report

We were trying to sell our vehicle on kijiji and this guy - Justin Bekker - contacted us about buying it and at first it all seemed pretty good but then it started getting weird. First off, he was not even trying to barter down the price. And was asking to do the transaction through paypal. We had yet to agree on a final price when all of a sudden he says he would be transfering the funds into paypal immediately. He also said he would have to use a shipping company to come and pick up the vehicle as he did not live anywhere near us.in the midst of all this weirdness we get an email from what appeared to be from paypal saying that the funds were being deposited... But there was a hold on it because we had to send in funds to the shipping company and had to do it through western union. When we got these emails we sent them to spoof@paypal who told us they phishing... The email looks like a paypal email... Expect that the letters are capitalized. Service@Intl. PayPal.com and then when you look into it futher... They end up being this payment_enquiry@emailaccount.com and payment_enquiry@consultant.com. The emails keep escalating threatening legal action and the FBI.
