I'm going to block the scammer.

I wish I read this first.  I believe I have been scammed, but not from overseas.  I'm going to wait a couple more days to be sure, but the scenario is much like what Wiz stated but using PayPal "friends and family," which gives no recourse through PayPal.  This is the first and last time I try to purchase something that is not on ebay or using PayPal "friends and family."  You know the saying, "Catch me once, shame on you; catch me twice shame on me."  At least it wasn't a significant amount of money.

Add these to your scammers:  Jasonbecker294 on this forum, autopartsdealer1@yahoo.com (who he refenced me to), and on PayPal, Brian Mutuma (is autopartsdealer1) and Joseph Oliver (oliverjoseph571@gmail.com) who is Brian's "friend."  Scam was for purchase of a Chinese Patcher part.
