SCAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.... big time

Yip.big time scam....shows up every month or so

Got that exact email many times, its a scam. 100%

Payments received by PayPal can be reversed. I would pass on that type of transaction. There has also been a few incidents of "fake" PayPal websites/accounts, etc. There were several incidents where buyers claimed that PayPal would "hold" the money until both parties were satisfied with the transaction. PayPal does not hold escrow funds, period.

Ok, Thanks, I thought it was.Brian
