Exclamation PayPal to be used as a legal tool to steal money!??





What do you think of this:

I advertised on Gumtree that I want to sell a brand new wedding dress for £600, next day I received email from a guy and I offered him that he can come see it. After that I received the following message:

Hello there, thanks for your quick response. I'll be offering you £80 for the postage cost via Royal Mail to my friend who is on a training course in West Africa, i want to send it as surprise birthday present...I would have loved to come for the collection then handle the postage myself but unfortunately i'm presently in Finland on a business trip, so i'll really appreciate your help. Send me a PayPal money request for the total cost and i'll make the payment asap.

Best Regards,Daniel


Isn`t it really weird? Do you think that this guy will pay first and than he will complain to PayPal that he have never received the goods and PayPal returns money to him and I will loose £600? If yes it looks that PayPay helps to cover crime.
