Happened to me. Sent a small amount to PayPal to “hold the reservation“. Guy said that Transaction didn’t go through, can I resend after he cancels the previous one. I asked him for a screenshot showing the cancellation and he sent it. Totally a fake screenshot. I fell for it and sent another $40 through PayPal. Once again he said it didn’t go through… crap, can I send it a different way? I did. He said you’re not gonna believe this, but it still didn’t go through, can you try doing it this way? I said “OK hold on. I’m not sending you another dime, I want to go ahead and just cancel. The last text I sent saying I wanted to cancel bounced back. I had already been blocked. He also insisted I change the receiver to be “friends and family“. PayPal will not dispute charges between friends and family. So all of that was a tactic. I did have a credit card linked to PayPal which said they will dispute the charge and charge it back. Watch out. These scum suckers are out there in droves.

Super hot dude on Scruff said he was a certified massage therapist. He said I had to send him a small amount to "Hold" the reservation using PayPal. I did. (Duh, so stupid...fuck), anyway...he said it was showing pending because PayPal thinks it's fraud. (Oh the irony). He send me a screen shot that said "cancelled". That was fake. So then he said send it again. I did...(I know...dumb ass). Minutes go by...he said that didn't go through. Re send. I said "no way, I need you to refund me my money. This is bullshit". He blocked me. I called PayPal and they said we will not dispute the charge because I did it identifying the receiver (The con artist) as "Friends and Family).. He gave me some line that it prevents any holds being put on the transaction. Lucky for me, my PayPal is linked to a Credit Card who said THEY WILL dispute the charge and charge it back. What a mess. Be careful. Never send money up front.
