A current PAYPAL member 'Nery Leano @nleano333' has been trying to defraud me & others in our classic car forums, supposedly selling MOPAR automotive parts for $3400. He wants half-payment ($1700) up front and sent through paypal 'Friends & Family only' and NOT through the regular paypal 'service and goods' process.
He REFUSES to use anything but the 'Friends & Family' for payment & says i can pay the remaining $1700 AFTER i receive the parts. (Oh, that sounds legit, right!)
He originally would ONLY use VENMO and/or ZELLE for payments, but i told him i only have a paypal account, ha. Reluctantly, and after using an original name of 'Jimmie Worthman' in my emails, he agreed to use paypal & gave me the paypal account name of 'Nery Leano @nleano333'. (THIS PAYPAL ACCOUNT IS CURRENTLY ACTIVE!). Stupid *** finally gives me his real name & has an active payPal account.
I've reported to PAYPAL, as well as filing my federal fraud IC3 dept report with the FBI for interstate theft & fraud.
I hoping this will be followed up on their end and at least remove & ban his fraudulent 'Nery Leano @nleano333' payPal account. These guys should rot in hell! BE AWARE!!!!
