Kijiji Paypal Scam - [email protected]

At it again...
Have a courier pick up a 26' travel trailer and bring it up to the yukon? Yeah right. Here's the email address of the same scammers. [email protected]
phone number is 1-867-292-0839

Within few hours of posting my add on Kijiji, I received a very suspicious email. It had all the red flags of a scam, so I checked it on scamwarners.com. The phone number the person used was 1 (867) 292-0948.

The text: "Hi, do you still have your item listed in RVs camper trailer on kijiji for sale? Its urgently needed please call my husband or email me back at [email protected]

In this scam the scammer is NOT interested in your trailer. He wants to steal your money. No one will ever come to pick up the trailer. It is all a scam with the scammer playing all roles.

The scammer wanted to send you a fake Paypal payment. He has a fake Paypal address from a free email provider spoofing Paypal. The payment would look real. Its a screen shot of a fake payment. He then will instruct you to pay a mover, shipper or agent. The fake Paypal email from the scammer would say that your Paypal funds will be released when you send the scammer (mover,agent or shipper) money via Western Union or Money Gram. In reality Paypal would never hold your funds.

Log into Paypal directly without any links to check for monies received or call Paypal directly from the number on their site.

If you are selling electronics, Cell phones or computers then the scammer is trying to steal your "item". Your fake funds will be released when you send the scammer a scan copy of a receipt showing you mailed your item.

This same scam works with fake check and money orders. You and your bank will think they are real. After you cash the fake check. Days or weeks later your bank will inform you of the fraud. Your bank will have you repay the monies. Possibly close your account for fraud and report you to Law Enforcement.

The best thing to do is to sell in person face to face in a public place.
