Most amusing. Selling a high end Nobis coat. Retails for $1000+tax but have it on FB marketplace for $550. It's new, tags still on it. A steal. Of course, someone is trying to steal it from me. Got a message from this "woman". Oh yeah, "she'll" buy it. Can't come by to look at it as "she" lives in the USA but wants to send it to her friend in Newfoundland. Okay, once in a while I get requests to send to a third party address. "She" wants to pay via Paypal. Okay, can't do normal bank etransfer like we can do in Canada. We agree on $600 for the coat and shipping. I give "her" my email associated with my Paypal.

"She" asks me to first send "her" a funds request. That's a little odd. But sure. I do. "She" then claims yup the funds have been sent. Nothing comes in for an hour. I message her back and say "hey, will send the coat as soon as the funds come into the account. You're probably doing a bank transfer so that could be 2-3 days."

"She" then says "oh check your email spam folder for the fund transfer acknowledgement". Uh huh. Weird because none of my Paypal acknowledgements go to spam. I do check. And it's just red flagged six ways to Sunday by gmail. There are obvious errors in the email and you have to love the look-a-like inlltpay .com domain. Anyway, making this public for people. That scam email is [email protected]

Also noticed a French Canadian did get scammed by the person using the same email:
