A woman named Kelly Benson who appears to be off shore wants to buy a car i have listed on craigslist. She sent a transaction e mail showing where she sent the money to pay pal, but wants me to western union 950.00 to a pick up company. The email states that i wont get the money from the sell untill i send 950.00 to the pick-up person, witch i cant seem to find a phone number for but have an address? she also stated that pay pal has emailed her wanting to know why i havent sent the western union money yet. Is it possible for her to use pay pal to scam me?

Thanks

Yes it is a scam. You will pay the 950 and she will cancel the paypal payment.
Paypal would never mail anyone asking about a Western Union payment. That's all to put pressure on you. Paypal is a way to pay. They are not a mediator in selling or buying your car.
