So i'm selling a phone on craigslist, of course i immediately got scammers wanting to buy the phone
Quote:
Hi,
Thanks for the prompt response, i wish i could show up to pick the item up locaaly but, i am on a peace mission as a US diplomat in iraq, i am ready to pay you $150 for this item, i want the item to be ship to my hubby who works with American Embassy in abroad,as his birthday gift. I will pay $100 for shipping through EMS/USPS, i will make the payment through paypal so get back to me with your paypal email address so i can make the payment.
Susan Evans.
The way this works is they send the money, i send the item, then they do a charge back and paypal always fucks the seller.
You can only have 1 paypal account tied to a bank account. If after they send the money, you just withdraw it, paypal can't do the chargeback, and they lock your paypal account forever.
She's offering to send me 250$ if anyone wants to do this and keep 150 and send me 100$ would be sweet.
i can't have my paypal account locked or i'd do it myself.

this seems totally legit and not sketchy in any way!

I would say scamming someone is pretty sketchy, even if they're trying to scam you first.
You could even scam me and do as outlined and then not send me any money! Wheels within wheels.

yeah i realize this was stupid to post. If you really want to scam a scammer just list a 2000$ computer on craigslist and then do this and keep the money for yourself with your 1 paypal account.

You'll get harassed for the rest of your life, trust me, it's bad.
I owe paypal like 20 bucks from a dispute and they locked my account + turned it over to a collection agency which has my phone number. They've been calling me randomly for over a year, up to 10 times a day at one point until I told them that I was aware of the laws regarding debt collection and would be having my attorney contact them.
Fuck them though, I'm not paying that shit.

I would do this if my Paypal account was not linked to my bank account.

You can make one not linked to your bank account pretty easily. You'd just have to spend the money online before they do the chargeback.
