[email protected] - buyandsellhair.com scammer

He starts by sending a generic "I'm interested" message through the site - just like a genuine buyer:

hello seller am interesting in your hair please let me know the last
asking price if you still have it for sale?

Regards.

Then this:

Okay,
I am still willing to purchase this hair urgently,Hope is still in excellent condition,i really want to purchase it with short period of time and get back to me with your paypal name and email address to send the money immediately.I am going to Add additional $100 to cover the shipping cost via international regular posting delivery to my wife hospital place in Nigeria 23401.await to hear from you soonest so that i can make the payment asap
Thanks,

Note: The offer of overpayment, and the mention of the sick wife.

Then there follows a faked PayPal mail, claiming that your money is being held until you prove that you have paid for shipping.

Note: The email did NOT originate from PayPal.

PayPal is an online money transfer service and would never use a competing money transfer service to receive a payment.

PayPal does not have an escrow service and does not hold payments for buyer/seller protection.

Then follows more persuasion from the scammer:

I have reposed my confidence in you that you will not disappoint me as this will be my first time of buying something like this online ,I have proceed to PayPal with your payment and payment was made confirmed and successfully .Also i did made a payment of $300 for your hair and extra $100 for the shipping fee via USPS and the total amount made is $400,so i do believe you should have received a payment notification from PayPal which will enable you to believe that i truly made your payment. So i would want you to ship the hair today via poster mail and below is the shipping address :

Julius Amos
56, Kofoworola st
Abule Egba
Lagos

Nigeria

I would await the tracking number back from you .
Thanks.

Regards.

what you mean ? tell me did you get the confirmation? if you dont get it in your inbox you can kindly check your spam mail and get back to me with the tracking number because the money has been deducted from my account.

waiting for the tracking number.
Regards.
