I'll proceed with the payment shortly,but need to tell you that I just received email from my shipper that I'll need to pay them through western union first before coming for the pick up at your location,As a miner,I'm unable to do this and I've checked online at western union website if possible for me to send the money to them using my PayPal account,but only accept credit card which I didn't bring along with me. I need your help in helping me to do this as I'll be adding the shipper fees to the payment and help me to get it to them through western union to their head office at abroad,an amount of $1300 will be added to the payment,You can have the money sent through western union outlet near you.
Can I proceed with the payment now.
Regards.

Hi,
I will be sending you the paypal information shortly. When the payment will be received, I will make myself available to the person who will pick it up to give him the keys, the subwoofers and amplifier, as well as the gift certificate and gas container. Can I please have contact information so we can arrange ourselves for the pick-up?
Thank you!

Just wanted to know that I didn't missed anything,I can purchase at your asking price and I will be paying the with PayPal and have pick up done from your location as I am out of province at the moment.
Regards
************************************************************************************************
Anyways, the guy didn't make any sense in what he was saying, he sais he was out of the province in Regina (Saskatchewan), but wanted it shipped to the UK. And he was a minor so he couldn't make a western union money transfer to the shipping company, because he had left his credit cards at home... ? Then he sent me the email saying that he had transferred the amount, to check out my emails, which I did, and this is what they said:
