Yeah, you're right, I'm going to call paypal right now. And I'll tell the guy it's money order or nothing. I don't want to give him my bank account information either.our_auctionguy said:
How the hell do these guys get other people's credit card info anyways? F-ing bastards! Lol.
Send Back the Paypal
Did you get this deal off Ebay or AZ?
If it was off Ebay, you have a Ebay rules, that say you can't except it and must return it.
If you got it off AZ, you moralally have to send it back.
Last point, since it is Paypal, I would also think your paypal agreement with Paypal has rules about cashing a fraudulent payment?
Do your really want to be on the International Fraud List?
IMO, tell him your bank refused the transfer and send the funds it back and list it again.

Phishing
By contacting people via emial or telephone and requesting they verify their account numbers and pins as a security measure or some other BS. They set up websites that look similar to real Credit card sites and send email to peopl telling them to login to the site and provide their name, password, credit card and 3 digit pin for verifcation. People click and go like zombies feeding their private information to these fraudulent collection sites and whala ! They have your account.trueblu8 said:

Vince don't even think to proceed further in this deal. Just back off. It smells like a sewage to me. 
Is he from AZ? I think Via is from there (not sure though). If he is, he can definatelly help you. He is a nice guy. A close friend of mine took a PFD in a very smooth transaction.

I just listed a cue not long ago on eBay. It didn't meet the reserve so I kept it. About a week later I got an offer on the cue. Guy asked what it would cost to ship to Indonesia and to what Paypal ID he could send the money. I told him that he could send payment but that wanted to make it clear BEFORE I accepted payment that I would only ship to a paypal confirmed address and buyer. I told him that if all was good with that, I'd gladly accept payment and send it. I've heard nothing from him since then. Looks like I dodged one!

What's the guy's name?
A great little precaution
To those of you who have Paypal and/or eBay accounts, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND spending the $5 for the Security Key FOB if you haven't done so already. No more worrying about whether someone could have your login information from hacking, or wireless snooping, etc.
I have had one from day one when they became available and now I wish all the all the banks would offer them for online banking security.
It makes it virtually impossible for someone to hack into your Paypal account or eBay even if they know your password. They would have to have your password and your security key in their possession at the time they try to log in. The sweet thing is one key works for both eBay and Paypal once it is registered with them.
Here is the website information for those who want it.

Neat, I didn't realize PayPal had FOBs available. I've been using a FOB to login remotely into work for a number of years now. It's definitely a great added layer of security. The only downside is forgetting it at home and needing to loginour_auctionguy said:

A Funny Scenario
On another thread their is discussion about a copied auction for BlackBoar cue that an AZ member sold a year ago where his entire auction listing was completely duplicated.
Wouldn't it be funny in a tragic way if some Paypal/credit card fraudster were to bid and win a fake auction by mistake. One bad guy trying to rip off another bad guy. I think that is funny and can imagine it has happened considering the shear volume of fraudulent listings on eBay.
I don't care what you say, that sheet is funny!

ajg1005@betemarket.com Didn't say his name. That's the e-mail address he's using on eBay though. Same guy? I still haven't heard anything from him, so I'm convinced he wasn't for real.

LOL well if you watch the news they just had a report on this not to long ago, and the amazing thing was who was doing it, pick a restaurant you go to a lot and I guarantee you they had at least 1 server that was doing this, like I said I was amazed, the servers or bar tenders have a little pocket scanner like what they swipe your credit card threw when you pay, but all they are doing is storing your credit card info on a little flash memory reader, and then they sale the info off, the thing they said to help prevent this from happening to you was, keep your credit card in sight at all times, so don't just give your credit card to the waiter/waitress and let them run off and pay, get off your lazy butt and take your card to the register or take a chance they are stealing your info, and don't have the attitude that this was not happening at the restaurants you eat at, because like I said it was everywhere, I was amazed at the names of places they supplied.
Take care all
