Trouble with my PayPal, dormant, please send moneygram, whatever gram, is an old scam. PayPal never "goes down". I'm sorry you got hit.

I've only been scammed one time on an internet purchase but that time, this time, and every other time I've heard of, it's been a guy with two first names...

Not on your life!! I was told early on to never trust anyone with the last name of Peters.

Keith, do you have any additional info that might be helpful to other members?

Not much more useful info -- perhaps this, he requested payment via MoneyGram, which I am embarrassed to admit should have been an alarm

Sorry for the scam, but does anyone have this picture of world members at Borradori Garage as a high res image I want to print out one for my office.
Thanks,
