How are you doing? Hope great. I was about to made the payment when i had a little problem with the mover they said they can only schedule the pick up date and time when they receive their money for the pick up via Western Union money transfer. Due to this, i included $1,650.00 USD for the shipping agent fee and $150.00 for the Western Union transfer charges to send out the shipping fee to the mover. PayPal will instruct you on how to get the money sent to my mover..
 
Just in case your email provider might misfile the PayPal's Payment e-mail as Spam. Always check the email inbox or Spam folder for the PayPal payment receipt..The payment has been made and the money has been deducted from my account...Kindly get the shipping fee sent out through Money Western Union transfer to the name and address below and send the details to PayPal  section for your total funds to be credited.
 
Just in case you are being asked the purpose of the money transfer: You are to include it that the money is for family or friend, so you will not be charged more than the transfer charges included.
 
I believed since payment has been made, the advert should be taken off the site and please do let me know the pick up date and time so that i can forward it to my mover to put it on their agenda.I will also advise that you should try all your best to have the shipping fee sent today, So we can seal the deal hopefully tomorrow ... Nice doing business with you.

If it came thorugh PayPal then forward to Spoof@PayPal.com

It was outside of PayPal, just unjoy the funds you did not lose and consider youself a little more educated now.
