Buyer wants money sent to a Walmart to Walmart

[LynnAG]

I’m selling a motorhome. Buyer is sending me extra money to pay the “mover”. The e-mails are coming from <removed>. The e-mail says to accept and the money will automatically go through a Wal-mart to Walmart account and I haven’t seen th money in my PaylPal account yet.

THIS IS A TYPICAL PAYPAL SCAM.

They encourage you to use paypal and often pay you 'over the odds' and don't want to view.
You will get/got a "fake" email that looks as though it is from paypal.....it isn't.
It will say the buyer has paid ...you won't have been paid.

They will say that they will provide shipping costs but you must send those shipping costs to the courier via western union / moneygram / Walmart etc BEFORE the funds are released to you

They are not interested in the vehicle, they just want those shipping funds and you will never see money in your paypal balance.
They also threaten legal action...have a laugh at that one and ignore it as its rubbish.

Paypal NEVER tell you to do anything before the payment is showing in your paypal account.
Paypal NEVER expect you to use a rival money transfer service eg Moneygram or Western Union/ Walmart etc.

Also their is no seller protection on paypal for any type of motor vehicle.
Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.
