Hey all,

So here a good one i got a email from a [email protected]. I google the email and found but i still reply for this site. So what i found was it was a different email ( [email protected]) on the 2nd email but sign same as the first. Just thought it was funny and confirmation for this site. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks
Chance

Thanks for the mail,i am buying this for my daughter as her gift
because i would not be around to celebrate with her i am a petroleum
engineer currently on a rig offshore and due to the nature of my
work,phone calls making and visiting of website are restricted but i
squeezed out time to check this advert and send you an email regarding
it. I really want this item to be a surprise gift for my daughter so i
wont let her know anything about the item until it gets delivered to
her,i am sure she will be more than happy with the item.I will make
the payment through paypal because i don't have access to my bank
account online as i don't have internet banking, but i can pay from my
PayPal account,as i have my bank a/c attached to it, i will need you
to give me your PayPal email address so i can make the payment as soon
as possible for the item and pls if you don't have PayPal account
yet,it is very easy to set up, go on http://www.paypal.com and get it set up
,after you have set it up i will only need the e-mail address you used
for registration with PayPal so as to put the money through.I have a
pick up agent that will come for the pick up immediately you have
receive the payment in full.please get back to me with your final
price.

Hi. Yep, I got an identical email from Jordan David Evans ( [email protected] ) (note that it's a slightly different email address from yours) about an item on sale on the Italian eBay site.
Fortunately something simply didn't feel right by that second email and I googled him ...
Have sent the correspondence etc to both eBay and PayPal to alert them and to beg them to protect anyone unwary enough to fall for it...

So glad I found this site! Received this email about a trailer I have for sale on the Albany, NY Craigslist from a Golly F. Buke, email address [email protected]:

Thank You, actually I'm not in town for now, because am a Marine
Engineer so i wont be able to meet with you but I have a shipper who
will come for the pick up after payment had been cleared so please get
back to me with your address, ASKING PRICE, cell # and PAYPAL EMAIL
because i will be making the payment via PayPal as that is the only
payment option I can access from here, I hope you understand. Please
Do not waste my time if you don't want my offer do not bother to
reply, if we have a deal please reply with the requested info and let
finalize the deal**** log on to www.paypal.com if you don't have
paypal account. it is very simple, fast & secure.

Thought it was suspicious, you all confirmed it! Thanks so much!

Then He sent two fake email from fake account PayPal
[email protected] ([email protected]) that told me that i received money from him.

Today 20-10-2017 he sent to me the following email

I have just made the payments now and i expect paypal to have emailed you by now, i sent €1,290.00 in all to (******************) paypal said they would be holding the funds and it will not be credited into your account because of the excess payments of €300.00 i added meant for pick up and delivery, they said they have emailed you to this effect, you will need to send the €300.00 to my pick up agent Headquarters via western union money or money gram transfer, so that paypal can credit the €1,290.00 into your account as soon as you have emailed the western union or money gram details to them, i added extra €20 to cover the western union or money gram charges which shouldn't be more that €10-15 but just to be sure i added €20. if you have not received confirmation of payment from paypal yet, i want you to check your spam or junk box if the mail from paypal is there.

Here is the pick up agent info needed to get the money sent through
western union or money gram transfer:

Receiver First Name:Owen
Receiver Second Name: Clement
Address C 61 Ganesh Nagar Street new Delhi
Postal Code: 110018
City: New Delhi
Country: India

I will need the details of the transfer once you have sent fund . . .
1.MTCN or Reference Numbers
2.Sender's name and address used in sending the money.
3.Actual amount sent.
From
Jordan David.

Be attention.
