Craigslist scammer (Haley Pokorny), texted about wanting to purchase items I'm selling on Craigslist through PayPal but, will be out of town and they will send extra money to pay their shipper. Send the shipper fee through Money Gram because shipper does not use PayPal and fee of $800.00 is to be paid out of your pocket before funds are released. Received fake email confirmation of payment status from (haleyonebox@outlook.com) via fake PayPal page stating that money has been sent and is being held until the $800.00 shippers fee is paid out of my pocket. I have sent/reported the emails to spoof@paypal.com which checks to see if the emails are true PayPal correspondence or scams.  And I also checked my true PayPal account and of course there is no mention of this transaction ever taking place. I did some checking and there are several other numbers and names they have been using in connection with this scam.

I had two similar experiences in the last two days on Craigslist. I told them maybe they should try getting an honest job and they might feel better about themselves. When they said they wanted to buy my furniture sight unseen and to provide them with my paypal information that was a HUGE RED FLAG! It's a shame you have to be so distrustful of everyone you come into contact with these days. THEY ARE NOTHING MORE THAN USELESS PREDATORS!

Thank you sooo much for posting this message.  My son almost got into this trying to sell his car thru Craigslist.  He happened to text me asking me if I have a paypal account.  If he had his own account he could have fallen into this scam.  GRRRRR110415!
