and Yes its a scam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jim on his last email to you, right click go to properties then click details look for his IP address and Google it to see where it originated. You can also find out who their Internet service provider is.
You definately need to get PayPal into this thing.
I use Paypal but don't like it. What Ebay and Paypal are up to should be illegal.

Last time I had it on Ebay someone hacked into my account somehow and was offering people a buy in now for $13.5K.
He sent the money to PayPal and I have a email from PayPal the money is on hold.But yet there is nothing on hold or pending when I go to my PayPal account.I have to send $950 to the "shipper" before the money can be released.
LOL I guess he will be waiting along time for that $950.00.I can not believe people fall for this.....
At first I thought no big deal PayPal is like a Bank wire transfer.So I posted this question here.Then I get the email from "PayPal" to send the "shipper" $950.00 so they can release the money to me...Right! I will do that right away!

Jim: Had the same 'scheme' thrown at me a few months ago. Contact Paypal.....they have a separate department that handles this very scenario. It's part of the 'nigerian scam'. If I remember right they wanted the Western Union amount sent first to a location in Maryland, and then Paypal was 'supposed' to release the entire amount including the extra for shipping. Paypal stated that they would never agree to doing this. Ben. (MY BUYER was out to sea on scientific research and wanted to buy the truck for her father as a surprise! And 'yes' the "Paypal emails" were part of the scam......they were not sent by Paypal!))The reason he wants to send me PayPal is he is in the Military and out to sea right now.Now I got a email that the transport company only takes Western Union and he wants to send me $950.00 extra and then have me send the $950.00 to the transport company for him.Maybe I should ask if he could do a Bank wire transfer instead?Or send me a deposit Pay Pal and I will keep the car for him.
Jim
It is a SCAM and I am pretty sure Paypal holds the money for period of time on most transactions of any amount. Hey Mike, could you forward the guy's address I could always use 150,000.00.
He wants to have the car picked up with a shipping co.Man I do not know what to do now doesn't sound to safe.
wow all her friends were sheet heads... Hmmm....
