In addition to what jivk03 has said, the scam he is talking about looks like this:
Thread example: Looking for online job ? Have verified paypal account ? have 2hr+ free time?100-200$
Title example: Looking for online job ? Have verified paypal account ? have 2hr+ free time?100-200$
This is probably the most retarded scam on the site, but obviously it still works if it keeps coming back. If you frequent a certain forum and you see one of these threads pop up, do your due diligence to other people and call it out for what it is. Don't let it sit there and attract views. This scam probably won't ever be put to rest for good, but at least we can prevent it from happening as often.
Thanks jivk03 for the useful post!

To sum it up:
Random guy adds you on skype, offers you 30$ for basically free. You get 150$ via PAYPAL, but YOU have to buy something for HIM for 120$, you end up getting scammed.
How can you fall for this? It's too good to be true and you are seriously an internet newbie if you fall for this bs
It's basically a life-lesson; if someone offers you 'free' money and its too good to be true, it isn't true, it's a scam.
