BEWARE! Online Fraud Notice!

I have an add here in Qatar Living for furniture that I am selling.  A potential buyer contacted me and I asked that he pay via PayPal and he agreed.  I received an email that looked like it came from PayPal asking me to go to a western union and make a payment of QAR 1650 to allow the completion of payment.  I immediately contacted PayPal and they told me to cut off communications with that individual and send the email that I received to their fraud department.  The individual that contacted me went by the name of CAMIL DBOUK from phone number +234 902 508 3389.  

If anyone asks you to send money to process a payment, Don't!  I immediately knew this guy was a scammer when he asked me to send money, but many people may not be aware of this.

Same thing here also.. Best advise would be to deal with the buyer/seller directly and within Qatar....
