Hello, It’s a great pleasure to read from you. First, I hope it’s
still as new as seen on the advert page. My reason is just because I
want to buy, intend in buying it for my Nephew whom I promised buying
one for and as such i would not want to get him something i thought
was new only to find out that it was in a bad condition. I hope that
the distance involved wouldn't hinder your interest in selling to me,
also I want to hope am dealing with an honest seller who is willing
to sell. For this reasons, I would be offering you the sum of $350
with shipping fee inclusive to my beloved Nephew. Also i would like to
interest you that i would be paying via PayPal. Also apart from the
picture on the advert page, I hope you can send at least 2-3 pictures
of it to me in its present state. So please if the offer is ok by you,
then I would like you to get back to me with your PayPal email address
so that the transaction can be concluded, if possible today. So I look
forward to get a reply from you. Regards.

This will be followed by FAKE emails from Paypal telling you that your paypal account will be credited as soon as you send the shipping number.

Paypal will never hold a sellers money until a shipping receipt has been provided.

Once you have shipped your merchandise, it it very hard to stop and retrieve.

Sellers should always personally verify payment before shipping merchandise
