Hi new user here, i think it is a scam..

Hi,
Im selling a blackberry on ebay, yesterday i got this message:
Dear project000,

I will pay you £250.00 for the item.If you agree then, Kindly send me your response so that I will pay you the money.

You can as well send me paypal money request so that I can send you the money.

Here is my Paypal email address ([email protected])

Looking forward for your response

I replied saying that there might be a mistake as my item worth less than £40, he replied saying that he wanted my paypal information so he could send the money.
Now, if i give him my account can he do anything?

Im from london btw, and this person looks like to be in usa and his paypal address is [email protected]

Thanks for your time

Welcome here project000.

Yes, it's likely this is a overpayment scam. Don't bother to write to this person, and he will leave you alone.

Hi Project000, It sounds like the usual overpayment or else you will be asked to forward the excess to a "shipper"

Needless to say, any payment method will end up being either a fake cheque, or a fake paypal website the scammer directs you to.

Please read through here viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3222

My advice is to delete and ignore.

Yeh i already read it, and the fake link thing as well..is good that you have this forum here it really is helpfull. I didnt know a few of the things but now i will share them with my friends so they will watch out too

Thanks
