They act under 2 different e-mail addresses.

"Emily Boulden" uses [email protected] and "PayPal customer support" uses [email protected]

The scam itself is naive and starts with the e-mail after "making a private offer" for an online auction.

"Hi
The transfer has been completed.Please check your in-box or junk, spam for payment Confirmation, because I got mine in my spam mail, am sure you must have see the email from PayPal with the confirmation email that the payment has been made,a total of 1,110.00 eur was sent 750.00 eur for the agreed price Purchased and the extra 350.00 eur for the shipping charges and am sure you notice that, which you will be sending 360.00 eur plus the paysend charges.Here is the information where you will be send the shipping agent fee.

Shipping Agent Name: AXXXXX BXXXXXX

Account Number: 0XXXXXXXX

Bank Name: SXXXXXXXX Bank

Country: Nigeria

You should proceed now and deposit the agent money as soon as possible and send the paysend payment proof you got for shipping payment to PayPal by replying to the message you received from them and as soon as they verify the paysend details valid, all your funds will be credited into your paypal account Immediately. You will also have to get back to me after you are done with paysend payment, so that i can forward it to PayPal for verification and as soon as they confirm the information Valid, all your funds will be clear and released into your paypal account instantly."

Soon it turns to mild blackmailing:

"We want you to know that we are in care of the money that Mrs (Emily Boulden) transfer in excess to your Paypal account and the Transaction neither be divided, canceled or recalled by the payee (Emily Boulden) as a security measure to protect both the Seller and Buyer.We want you to proceed with the transaction and send the shipping fee € 350.00 EUR to PayPal, and get back to the FBI as soon as you get it done,We hereby advice you to do so before the issue get to the headquarter and once the issue get to the headquarter there would be no remedy we are very sure you know the repercussion if you fail to do so.The total amount € 1,110.00 EUR is already available for withdraw in your Paypal account, what PayPal need from you is the shipping fee € 350.00 EUR
so we can settle the case and they will proceed with the transfer to your Paypal account immediately. That was the reason they involve the FBI about this, so you are safe with your money.PayPal's Fraud Investigation Team is highly experienced in fraud prevention. Several members of the team were former law enforcement officials with extensive experience in fighting online fraud. PayPal's fraud investigation team focuses on: Identifying and preventing fraud before it occurs, Detecting fraud in process Mitigating loss, if fraud does occur, Delivering information to law"

It's so amateurish it's hard to believe anyone falls for it.

Please post the unredacted bank account details. We can arrange for those to be reported to the relevant authorities.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.
