I received this e-mail chain after listing a table on Craigslist:
Alright, I am quite interested in purchasing it. But I won't be able to come and check it myself because I'm currently out of the state, and I don't know if PayPal will work for you cos its the only way i can pay for now. So if PayPal is fine, then i would like to have your PayPal email address for the payment, and also the address where the item will be picked up because am arranging for a pick up. So as soon as the funds is cleared in your account, they will come for the pick up.
Please write me back today.
Regards.
I was just about to make the payment when I had little problem with the picking up, The picker said he'll not come for the pick up unless I pay the pick up & delivery fees first in order to be able to schedule suitable pick up date. The only form of payment he accepts is western union Transfer. I'll include the $350 he charged for pick up and delivery to the payments i'll send to you through Paypal so you will help me send it to the picker via western union Transfer as soon as you receive the payment from Paypal. I'll include $50 for the western union transfer charges to send the pick up money to the picker.
Thanks in anticipation.
The whole money will be in your account as soon as you send the $350
(shipper fees), the money has already been deducted from my account and will
not comes up until you send the money to the given address and email the
info to paypal so they can complete the transaction... I want you to go
through the email paypal sent to you so this can be clear.
And her "movers" sent this immediately after.
