I was contacted about the sale of my wedding dress on craiglist. Mikkel Jonathan wrote:

Hello

i wish to buy this item for my Sister and the price is affordable to me.

Do you have PayPal account concerning the payment? if you have you can
send money request to [email protected] for me to make the payment
today.i would also like you to add the
mailing cost via Ups or FedEx. so once i make the payment below is my
sister mailing address

DONALD J DIEDERICH
1001 WATER AVE S
SAUK RAPIDS, MN 56379 USA.

so let me know your decision.maybe you can do that ASAP.

I then arranged for his payment and recieved a fake email from PayPal requesting teh shipping number to confirm payment. (nothing changed in my actual paypal) But as a first time seller on paypal, I shipped the dress.

I discovered later that day that the email was fishy. And stopped shippment of the dress. Unaware of that Mikkel sent me an email and another fake email saying that Paypal made an error and I needed to refund him $80. I did not refund him the money and Im only out the cost of shipping.

Very frustrating but learned a lesson. Please avoid this buyer or this scam
