So I was stupid and found this guy on Craigslist who needed someone to help list his stuff on Ebay in the US because he was in the UK. He had an electronics company which I looked up and saw the website, etc, and it looked pretty legit to me. So I listed and sold two items, money goes to my paypal, then my bank. I take my cut and then am told to send the rest via Western Union to them asap. They tell me I must do it in cash at a location, I can't do it with a debit card. For one, I have never taken out more than like 300 bucks from my bank before, and two, at the start of this whole thing they didn't mention Western union or I would have said no. I know thats a prime scamming red flag. What should I do now????
