What happened? Description:

Long elaborate con involving a fake middleman and maximum funds sent limit reached on paypal. a first guy contacted me and gave me a three hour runaround that ended up with three items gone. This one is the one pretending to be a middleman.​

Provide Evidence:

This is two person con, the first one contacted me with an offer and then the second one pretended to be a middleman. this account is the one pretending to be a legitimate middleman.

in an attempt to save some time, I will include all the proof in this report, the other report will just be so they both have the report but have no doubt that they are in this together.
