I thought paypal would protect me from Scams

I found a job on Craigslist thinking it was legit because the person who contacted me didn’t ask me to pay money up front to him and asked me to write WalMart Secret shopper reports about shopping experiences. I knew people get paid for writing secret shopping reviews so I trusted him. His name, Steven Razor, sent me money directly through paypal and it CLEARED paypal first to be used for shopping at Wal-Mart for the evaluations. I thought they were legit because I trusted that paypal would stop fraudulent funds from going into my paypal account. Steven Razor instructed that I send the money in the paypal account to Moneygram and to his co-workers. Now paypal has limited my account saying that the money was fraudulent. I would not have worked with these people if paypal had stopped the payments up front in the first place! Paypal took a fee from each of these transactions and then now they’re saying I owe them this money plus more. Moneygram also took a fee. Paypal, Moneygram, Craigslist are all scam systems! They don’t protect the public when they say they do!

    Never ever send someone money with moneygram, money or western union after they send you money via paypal this scam has been around as long as paypal has been around.
    In all fairness Craigslist have numerous warnings about thin on their sites and even posted in adds. Paypal on the other hand states to be safe and offer protection which you found out they don’t.
