Notes:
I received this email from "PayPal" on behalf of the scammer after "she" agreed to purchase my item from Craigslist. I don't know of any email address that have a period after the ".com" which is what tipped me off right away. Also, the email didn't even come from PayPal...it came from transactionsverifiers@consultant.com The email is below but didn't copy and paste very well:
