rather than fresh. I asked him to send me a picture of it with todays newspaper in it.(Sounds like a ransom movie, I know). He said he lived in the country and wasn't near a newspaper. So I asked him if he had electricity, and he said yes. I said send me your latest electric bill. he couldn't do that either for some reason, so to satisfy myself one last time,
I asked how he wanted to be paid, and he said Venmo or PayPal friends and family. I then suggested he go forth and multiply, and hung up. Sorry
you went through this.

i was selling a high end camera and had someone who wanted to pay by venmo. i asked him for his account name and he refused to give it. Most likely he hacked someone's account
