Pat Morrison Adelaide, South Australia, Australia 2017-03-27 03:16:41 Classified Ads Scam | Response to ad for sale of leather lounge suite on Gumtree
This morning received 2 emails stating in first that funds had been transferred to my PayPal account! Second was to say there's a glitch and I needed to pay - via Western Union - $650.00 to ship the lounge suite. Further 2 emails from "PayPal" stating receival of funds. 2nd email stated that funds wont be released until they receive confirmation of the MTCN - Money Transfer Control Number - Western Union. Sent an email to "purchaser" stating I would not be parting with any money and received email back confirming they really needed my help with this transaction and to advise them if I would be "aiding me in this transaction". |
