Evgeniy B sent my my space account an email today asking if i would exchange paypal for wu. anyone have this happen before.

Wait...send money via Western Union instead of Paypal? If that is the case....NO!

[lbass215]

no i did not sell this person anything they had a brand new My space account and asked if they could send me 1000 paypal and i would western union the 900 back. i do not know how this person would have got my real name.

[imhungry114]

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.

[Snagga]

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.

[yaw1800]

he might try to file a chargeback a few months down the line.. use a thowaway account just in case if you decide to do it

[lbass215]

I asked him how he got my name he sent me the search link from myspace. I told him i would believe that when me $hit turns purple and smells like sherbert!!!!! no responce

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?
