Receiving paypal From scammer

[epicgodz]

Ok so I have an ad on craigslist for a certain item and I got an email from some scammer saying he works out of town and he wants to send paypal and he will have someone pick up the item. Now I know its a scam but I was thinking about accepting his paypal payment with one of my accounts I made with a profile and just withdraw the funds onto the netspend account I have attached to that certain paypal account. I obviously would just keep the withdrawn paypal funds and not give him/her the item, just pocket the paypal. Would this work?

always wondered that because i've been seeing more of those paypal scammer ads

pick up funds and get in touch to let him know you get the game going and send back 50% to the scamer so he too will get something and might end up being your best business partners as we don't know when we shall meet real GEE. Dont be greedy to take it all!

The only reason I would decide to keep all the funds is because he is obviously trying to pull a fast one on me, all I want to do is turn the tables
I just wanted to see if the paypal thing would work, if it does then maybe I can tell him to keep sending me more lol

Yes tell him he is good customer and ask if he wants to buy another ipad that you will put in package!

The prepaid with Paypal thing should work if you got a account that good and not new. I know theres people raping Ebay with the scam.
