"Private Shipping Company" Fee Scam - Motorbike

Person used email to offer full price on my motorbike which I had advertised on Gumtree, and then said he had \"already sent\" an extra $950 to my Paypal account to cover payment to his \"private shipping company\" but that Paypal was holding the funds until I gave proof that I had sent the $950 to the shipping company via Western Union. I told him to cancel the transaction and that I would refuse any transfer from him (of course, there is no transfer). Obviously a scam, but it is clear that this might work on an inexperienced seller. Caveat venditor!

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
