Personal Cragislist buyer – Simon Mark

Victim Location 75238

Type of a scam Phishing

Craigslist buyer wanted to pay using paypal. When he sent the paypal submission he added $650 for a delivery fee and $50 for a handling fee that was to go to a separate entity using a Walmart Money Order. A fake email was sent from "Paypal" with the instructions of how to execute the transaction. Nothing ever posted in the Paypal account, thus he would take the $650 +$50 and run without anything ever being paid, or merchandise being picked up. When I told him I would decline the Paypal funds, he kept on emailing asking why. Email sent to me is attached.
