Paul the Car $$$ Scammer via Fake PayPal = jballx3@gmail.com = Common.

Hey Scambusters, sorry I have not been posting much..  here is a fun one. 

Been playing around with this guy for a while...  a friend contacted me about a car she has for sale on CL, so I asked for the email to play the game.  The  jballx3@gmail.com  email is already out there and well known as a scammer (easy to find, just google it) and I wanted to play for a bit.  Nice thing is we got a contact name in NJ who will pick up the funds, so NJ Authorities have been notified via eBay / PayPal and they will hopefully catch someone at some point.  Remember you NEVER send money back on an overpayment.  You never release goods without payment clearing.

I have just made the payments now and i expect paypal to have emailed by now, i sent $8,000 in all, To XXXX i added $1,000 meant for pick up and delivery and the western union fee also, they said they have emailed you to this effect, you will need to send the $900 to my pick up agent via western union money transfer,so that paypal can credit the $8,000 into your account as soon as you have emailed the western union details to them, i added extra 100 to cover the western union charges which shouldn't be more that $100 Here is the pick up agent info needed to get the money

sent through western union money transfer:

Name: Tonya Dortch

Address:641 Tremont Ave, 

City: Orange

State: NJ 

Zipcode:07050

Country: United State.

I will need the details of the transfer once you have sent fund . . .

1.The MTCN number that is the 10  digits number on the Western Union  receipt

2.Sender's name and address used in sending the money

3.Actual amount sent

-------------

I just checked my PayPal account and I don't see a payment there....   I double checked the account and don't see an attempt at any transaction there.   Why is PayPal not showing the transaction?

From Paul 

You will not receive the payment now because its Pending by PayPal so as to verify that you are a Legitimate seller ofthe purchased item...so they are temporarily holding the money until the Western Union details (Actual Amount Sent,10-Digits MTCN#,Sender name and Sender Address) has been sent to PayPal Customer Care Email as regardsthe payment. this is to secure us both....PayPal is Holding the money and waiting on you to send the Western union information(Actual Amount Sent,10-Digits MTCN#,Sender name and Sender Address) to PayPal Customer Care Emailso that they can verify it and confirm that you have truly sent the Pick-Up fee via western union money transfer beforethe accreditation can take place...so i implore you to send the money through western union money transfer and get back to them so that they can credit your account ASAP.

Thanks and get that done

Regards.

All transactions even pending ones show up, but show as on hold or not cleared.   You said PayPal is waiting for the 10-Digit MTCN# but if it is not showing in my account where do I enter the #?

From Paul (Think he is getting angry now)

IT SEEMS YOU DONT UNDERSTAND AT ALL...YOU WILL HAVE TO GO TO THE NEAREST WESTERN UNION WITH THE SUM OF 900USD CASH IN YOUR HAND AND SEND IT TO THE COURIER AGENT NAME AND ADDRESS THAT PAYPAL SENT TO YOU AND ONCE YOU HAVE GET THE MONEY SENT JUST GET BACK TO PAYPAL WITH THE EMAIL ADDRESS THAT THEY USE TO SEND THE PAYMENT CONFIRMATION TO YOU SO THAT THEY CAN VERIFY IT AND THEY WILL GET YOUR ACCOUNT CREDITED IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT ANY DELAY

---------------

From me: Sorry I guess I am confused, maybe I should call PayPal and have them call you too, what is your phone number?  

----------

Both of us... (I think I am being too obvious now) 

So Paul, an unrelated company to PayPal located in Poland is the one I send the number to, not to PayPal?  But you said to contact PayPal with the number so they can release our funds.  How can this company update my PayPal account to release the funds?  Should I not email PayPal the number?
