SCAM on pay pal

[Cuz]

Hey guys,i decided to sell my poly craft,put it on polyowners first than boatpoint,
hadn't been on boatpoint 2 hours when received 3 offers one more than than the price,
all said hey i dont have much time but really want the boat,send pay pal details i will put money in today
than one asked if i would help with freight over seas,just pay 950 up front he would put money in account
today,did some checking and found out this scam works this way on boatpoint,they put money in than
send bogas email claiming to be from pay pal,or they put bogas check in than collect boat,or draw money
out after sale,some people drew money out than not only lost boat but had to pay back money to pay pal.
i know this sounds crazy but it is happening,so if you sell get cash or bank cheque,big thanks to boat yard
that alerted me ROD

Yeah mate same thing happened when Maxi went to sell his boat last year, bloke said he worked on an oil rig and he couldn't get to bank so he was gunna eft the money but asked if he would pay for freight and he would add it to the price ??

I also had a scam on a paypal account that said I had purchased a mercedes benz and it required payment immediately!!

Bloody bogus scam artists.
