No problem, always best to ask, i was laughing at the scammers poor attempt at scamming and certainly not you.

 

But can you edit your post as you are not allowed to name and shame on here.

 

Also its pointless letting anyone on here know his email as the transaction would not have been done via paypal as the email was a spoof.

This is a typical scam, they say they want to buy your item but want you to pay the shipping costs first via western union or moneygram etc, they say you have been paid via paypal but you get a spoof email but nothing in your account.

 

The scam is the shipping agent payment, they don't want your item and are normally in Nigeria.

 

Its a scam all over the net so don't worry re your personal safety.
