“I was prompted to write this article to warn people of these types of emails. I have been doing business online for years and yesterday I received another one of these emails and was scared when I first saw it.” – this is very alarming! I wonder how these scammers keep on evolving over time. It’s seems that they’re getting bigger and smarter. I think the government should do something about it. But most importantly, people should be more cautious.

Oh they’re sneaky! Definitely have done their homework and probably have benefited nicely to those who don’t know the difference between real PayPal and fake PayPal. Great article, thank you for sharing.

BEWARE OF PAYPAL THRU CRAIGSLIST!!
I have received numerous requests to purchase my rolex watch I posted on craigslist. Several have been scams. Just wanted to share what I have learned,
When someone wants you to ship to a different address than theirs. DON’T!
Pay Pal does NOT protect the sellers when the credit cards used are stolen!

Anne at PayPal said they WILL protect you if you do these three things:
Accept only from registered paypal buyers.
Ship within 7 days
and to ONLY the registered address

Be careful. The world is full of cheater, scammers, and evil people!!!
