Mate, that's a con if ever there was one! Don't reply to any of his calls or emails, completely cut him off. Everyone is always crowing about how great Paypal is .............. reckon any of them will give you the £350 you are sure to lose back? I doubt it! Even if the money clears in your account, he can easily do a chargeback and get it taken back off you. IT IS A SCAM! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
medic1281 5 Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 It's a scam, and paypal won't repay you as it's against there terms and conditions to buy/sell air rifles through them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
