He's going to send you the money so you draw it out, and then file a dispute with paypal to get it back. Once you send him a WU for the amount, he has $1900 in his pocket. I'm not sure how he got your name thought.

u should agree. then mail a box with tracking in case they file a dispute. then keep the money. i dont see anything wrong with scaming a scammer.

Paypal can't come after you if you close the account? This I did not know.

They just turn you over to a collection agency. So if your info is ⊗⊗⊗⊗... they won't come after you.

And they can't use your bank account number to come after you either? Banks don't release that info right?
