  1. This almost happened to me. I was trying to sell a $3,000 guitar online. Someone messaged me that he was out of the country but he wanted the guitar for his son who lives in Brazil. He said he would pay me via PayPal and he would send someone to pick up the guitar later that day. As his story got more and more convoluted and detailed, I smelled a rat. I did a quick search on PayPal scams - the most likely one is that he had hacked someone else's PayPal account and was going to pay me from this account. He would have someone pick up the guitar and later PayPal would reverse the fraudulent payment. He would get the guitar, I would get the shaft. So I told him I wanted him to use a different payment method. He baulked, I insisted, and he disappeared. Close call.
