I was selling an instrument in craiglist, this person email me saying he/she was interested in buying it, she was going to be responssable of the shipping, she asked me my address and name to give it to the shipping company and calculate the price for the pick up, she said the price for pick up the instrument was $400 plus $500 that was the price for the instrument, and $50 for any western union charges, a total of $950 was going to be send through PayPal, she asked me my email to send me the money, after I gave her my email address i received a email from a fake PayPal (I didn't know it was fake) saying that they received a payment from this person and the money was in hold, first I had to send through western union to the shiping company $400 of the pick up cost plus $28 from western union charges, once I've done that they was going to transfer the money to my account, a total of $950 that was the $400 that I send plus the price of the instrument. I went to western union and I send them the money and then I scan the receive, they needed the receive with the name and MTC number so they could check with western union, I wait 24 hours and the money was never transfer to my account so I email them and they said the total payment was too low to be transfer so they ask me to send $550 to the buyer's dauhgter and they was going to put $1550 to my account, but I never did that because it sounded suspicius, I did a resaearch and I found hundred of people scammed by the same person and fake PayPal. Now I really need my $428 back, this is the money from my summer job. Please help me. Thank you
