Craigslist scammer actually wants your merchandise

The scammer sends very elaborate and convincing mails with Paypal or Western Union Logo's.

The Scammer will send email that appears to be from Paypal asking you to send a shipping number before your funds can be released to your Paypal account.

Nb: These items can now be shipped since this payment has been confirmed and verified. The funds may not be cashed until shipment is been verified, to secure our customer's payment.

This order has been approved, we expect the receiver to come for payment within 3-5 business day.You CAN NOW send the items to the buyer now.

Due to the fact that most sellers don't send out item despite the fact that buyers have paid for the item, we decided to make a new policy that, sellers must ship out items within 48 hours of payment approval and send us the tracking number for verification via our Customer Service e-mail ([email protected] )

If we do not hear from you as soon as expected, the payment will be returned back to the buyer. We will be waiting for you to ship the item and mail us the shipment tracking number so that your payment can be prepared.

Thank you for using Western Union. We look forward to serving your online auction payment needs in the future.

Western union.

Paypal will never hold a sellers money until a shipping receipt has been provided. Western Union does not send notices to customer about pending fund transfers.

Once you have shipped your merchandise, it it very hard to stop and retrieve it.

Sellers should always personally verify payment before shipping merchandise.
