Get an Ebay account and put up an auction for something that costs about $700. Make it really overpriced. Like an Ipod Video = $700. Have it sale for BUY IT NOW

Now, using another account or craig lists, scam some kid for a WOW account for around $700 or whatever it costs, get him to pay by paypal.

Wait around 1 day, then use the money in the paypal account to buy the item on ebay that you are selling with another account. You send the money via paypal supposably for the ipod. So now you have the money in another account and Paypal cant get the money out of you because youve ’supposably’ already spent it. Then close your paypal account that you used to send the money.

Can anyone see any flaws in this scam?

Just have to make sure you can scam someone before the item runs out. also it costs money to put an item up on Ebay so unless you can pay that using paypal, if they get false info for billing they’ll cancel the sale.
