I made a deal with a person regarding shoes and he PP invoiced me. The description in the email does not match the description in the invoice its self. Should I be concerned?

Hello forge153,
Did you receive the invoice via email or did you see the invoice when you logged into you papal
account?

It is ALWAYS a scam
If the pet seller or shipper asks for money to be sent via Western Union, Money Gram, any brand of gift card. Walmart To Walmart , Zelle , PayPal friends and family option, or mentions Cameroon

When such details madon't tch it's always good to be careful, however your description does not have enough details for us to tell with 100% confidence.

I understand you are buying shoes online - how did you find the seller? Auction site or some of their own website? Or was it entirely through emails?

If you are buying from their website - what is the web address? If if was an auction site do you still have the ad posted up, saved somewhere?

If it was entirely through emails and you were approached tby his person, I would be cautious. If you could answer these few questions, I will be more than happy to help :)

Never tell scammer he is listed on this site.

If you find out person you are communicating with is listed here: stop all contact with the scammer

If that PayPal invoice is a legitimate one and you pay it, the seller could send you a piece of used toilet paper and you would have no way of getting a refund. He's described what you are buying as "Goods" - that gives you absolutely no recourse at all if you don't get what you were actually buying.

Please post the website/email etc that the seller is using.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.

Never ever make a payment by clicking a link in an email.

It's the easiest thing in the world to set up a fake Paypal dummy site designed purely to record your Paypal login details.

CAR ADVERTS - If a car seller mentions escrow - he's scamming you Never ever for any reason pay anything until you have seen and inspected the vehicle
