PayPal Scam - [email protected]

[ricardogomes]

I think I found another example of this scan

this was the email I received after replying on a car announcement.

Nice Hearing back from you..I'm quite satisfied with the condition and price. I will be paying the PayPal charges from my account and i will be paying directly into your PayPal account without any delay,and i hope you have a paypal account. If you have one already, just send me the address to send it to, which is the email address you use for it or you can send me a paypal money request, so once i receive the details i will go ahead with the payment through PayPal and then i will contact my shipping company after you get the payment. I will need your home address for it to be Picked Up by the Shipping Company..

And this was the guys email [email protected] with the name David Charles.

Hope this helps someone no get scammed.
