From my personal experience of being scammed last year, I called PayPal right away and explained everything to them. Even though I did send FF, I still got refunded.
 
I had one try me yesterday. Fortunately I noticed that the PayPal address he gave me, did not match the PayPal address posted in the sales thread.

Sent me this:

Hello there,
I do still have it available for sale, it is yours. $125 shipped.
PayPal address is; Tyler.James.thomas333@gmail.com
Send via friends and family. Also, shipping information.
Will get it in the mail tomorrow. Thank you.


This came straight to my Gmail. Where on my profile is my email address shown? I need to remove it.

Apologies for the late reply, just now saw where you tagged me.

Not sure what else I can add that hasn't already been said.

There's numerous threads in GBU and Tech Support I believe that detail how members can protect themselves from being scammed... purchase a $10 basic membership which gives the ability to use PM's and not emails, stop replying to unsolicited emails and most importantly STOP paying with Friends&Family.
