Hello,

I was selling one thing and one lady had interest. Then she was supposed to send me money and after I get money I was supposed to send her product. But she sent me this email where she is saying that she ,,sent" that money but it´s waiting for proccesing, that after I send that product that money will be sent to me, after I give her some ,,shipment receipt". I´m not sure about this, it seems suspisious. After I refused to sent that shipment information I got already another emal about FBI and that lady said that Im gonna have a big problem.
Please, can you check it?
This is that email:

And this email I got before from that lady:

I have made the payment of the money to you Bank Account and you
should have get the payment confirmation from Bank so, all you need to
do now is for you to proceed with the shipment of the item via DHL
Express / POST OFFICE URGENT OR EXPRESS DELIVERY to the address below:

Name: Akin Lolu S
Address: Flat 17 Coniston Avenue Essex
City:London
Postal code: RM19 1PG (Purfleet)
Tel: +448709457900
Country: United Kingdom

Make sure you proceed with the shipment as soon as possible so, for
the activation of the money to be transfer to your Bank Account ...

NOTE:Import duties and local taxes is been paid on item to London so,
for my daughter not to pay huge custom fee , you need to declare a low
value price I,E (50 EUR) should put write on the shipment receipt at
the post office. Do you understand?

wait for your quick mail...

It's a scam. Banks do not hold on to people's money pending confirmation of shipments.

The best thing to do is block all of the scammer's email addresses and stop responding. Do not accuse them of being scammers, they will just try to deny it.

Please post all of the email addresses that the scammers are using as their other victims may be searching for them.

ok, thank you for your advice. At first I was scared of being contacted by FBI, but now I know it´s just a stupid scam.

Thanks for the email addresses.

smilehelpfulservice.com is a fake domain that was anonymously registered by the scammers at the start of the year.

The scammers may try to contact you claiming to be the FBI, just ignore them. The real FBI would not get involved in such things and wouldn't be emailing you in any case.
