Douglas Carl Paypal Scam to defraud you if you are selling something. Texas
I posted my RV for sale thru my local internet clasified provider. I got a text message a few hours later by someone named Douglas Carl who said he wanted to by my RV but he lived in Texas and due to his job, he would need to have a pick up agent take the RV to where he lived and he would pay for it thru Paypal. I notifed him I had a paypal account and I would send him the request for money. He said that he would send the money, but the pick up agent would not come unless I sent them the $900 dollars that they were changing for the service. Douglas or who ever it really is, said he would add $1000 to the amount I wanted for the RV so I could send the $900 dollar via Western Union to the agent in Texas. I got a fake email from [email protected] saying they were paypal, I checked my paypal account and no money was received. I notified Paypal about the scam and they verified that it was indeed a scam.
This is what Paypal sent me.
