There are two ways that a scammer is ripping people off on Craigslist! First, it happens when the consumer posts something for sale... A scammer reply with an email stating that they are on the mainland. They are having a problem getting to a western union and will gladly send you the extra money to ship your product to them. They ask for your PayPal email (which is fine to give out), and then they send you fake confirmations stating that money has been deposited into your account. These emails are fake... You can always call PayPal directly if you have any questions: 1-888-221-1161
Paypal has a service where you can send the fake emails you receive as long as they are emails claiming to be from PayPal. Basic Craigslist emails are not accepted. You can send those to the FBI, but there is a form and it takes time. You can send PayPal scam emails to: spoof@paypal.com
The second way that a scammer uses Craigslist is to post a property for rent and then accept the rental moneys by PayPal. This is the hardest Hawaii scam because how do you the renter know that the property for rent is a real property. People are actually renting places, traveling to Hawaii, and then finding they have no place to stay! This is just horrible...
Whatever you do...
DO NOT SEND MONEY THROUGH WESTERN UNION TO ANYONE FROM CRAIGSLIST!
You can rent through PayPal but you should check to see that the PayPal user is a "verified" account holder. If you ever have a question regarding PayPal you can call them! They will get to you in just a few minutes...
