Have any of you had any interest expresed for any thing for sale from a ( Jenny Merein ) I have my 16 S/S for sale and She wants to buy it for her Son and have it paid thru Pay Pal Also wants my Pay Pal account number. Then have a Agent pick it up I asked 4000 for the rebuilt boat and trailer with a 50 hp Johnson. How stupid do people think we are I read Scam all over this. should I go thru Pay Pal and see if they have an account with the person.. No body gets account Infeo for pay pal or other places from here. How do you catch someone doing this. Im to old and to smart to be fooled but sure would hate to turn down 4 Gs from a Good buyer.. LOL my day for a laugh????? Oh she also clainm to be at Sea for some dang reason. OMG why Me

Re: Scam?????

Ya something really doesnt smell right. Did you let her know that she does not need your pay pal account to complete a transaction? Might be a good idea to see if pay pal can tell you about her.
Tell her if an agent is going to pick it up he might just as well bring the payment with him.
There has to be some way to scam a scammer!

Re: Scam?????

Either way I don't think I'd take paypal for a boat sale. Paypal is WAY biased for the buyer so pretty much any time after the fact she could make something up and request to get her money back they'd give it to her.

Thanks Ill just write that one off and the broken English and all. I posted a couple of photos on Seattle craiglist and Skagit craigslist in Wa. State. I hope to sell but Im not going to do so without a good price.It does not take but a few transactions to pu a lot of $$ in a scammers pocket.
