I had a scammer using paypal who sent an email that looked legit saying that they had deposited the full price of my F6 plus shipping costs into my paypal account. All I had to do was pay the shipping through a western union account for $2800. There was no money in my paypal account. The email address even had paypal in it but was PayPal with capital Ps. You can send it all to phishing@paypal.com. My last email to the scammer told them what I had done to. He was the good old kiwi working on an oil and gas platform and had limited internet etc. etc. I had the same story twice when I sold the last car. They are getting very clever with very legit looking emails. The transport company that I was supposed to pay had a Chinese Western Union account. Not very convincing, but they are getting better.
