I put an announce on a selling site «Kijiji» to sell my livingroom furniture for 3800,00$.
I received this message below and I thought it was suspect. I made a research and I found this site where I realise that the man had already complaints from other people for the same reasons: fraud.
See by yourself the historic of the conversation between paul Bergeron ([email protected]) -The second address he used to contact me.
Paul Bergeron:
«Okay. I will be paying the 2.9% PayPal surcharge from my account. So i will
be paying directly into your PayPal account without any delay, and i hope
you have a paypal account. If you have one already, just send me the address
to send it to, which is the email address you use for it or you can send me
a paypal moneyI'm sorry but I don't have any paypal account. You can contact a person
that you know who will pay me cash and pick up the merchandise with her.

From: [email protected] request, so once i receive the details i will go ahead with
the payment through PayPal and then i will contact my shipping company after
you get the payment. I will need your home address for the merchandise to be
Picked Up by the Shipping Company.
