OMG, me too, I still receiving the same emails from this person trying to threaten me..

 

"DO YOU RECEIVE PAYMENT NOTIFICATION/CONFORMATION FROM PAYPAL??? IF NOT.. KINDLY CHECK YOUR SPAM, BULK, JUNK AND INBOX FOR THE CONFIRMATION EMAIL FROM PAYPAL.. OR SHOULD I FORWARD THE MAIL I RECEIVE FROM THEM TO YOU NOW WHICH IS SIMILAR TO YOURS AND I RECEIVE MINE IN SPAM MESSAGE AS WELL.. I AWAIT YOU SOON.  "

 

Because I'm ignoring her she sent me this:

"I have been waiting to read from you regarding the mtcn number that will be given to you at the western union money transfer after you might  have send the $500 to my shipping agent and its very surprising you did  not reply back to my last email..I am getting worried over this..Please  let me know if you have send the money via western union and if you've  not done it make sure it is done today.I will be waiting to read from  you regarding the information that will be given to you at the western  union and also your address for the pick up and i will be very glad for  this.Please make sure you get back to me ASAP. Nice doing business with you. i await you soon.
Lisa"

 

The last email from her was today:

"Hello,
     How are you doing? have been expecting to hear from you concerning  the money added to the payment i made to your paypal account that was to be sent to the auto shipping agent.. i receive a mail from paypal that  they receive no mail from you concerning the transfer information...  kindly get back to me and let me know what is really going on and the  transaction  i was told that legal action will be taken against you if  you did not reply to the mail they have been sending to you.... i was  told that the transaction is not valid through there mobile customer  care due to its an international transaction.. the transaction is only  valid through there customer care link given at ( and she gave me a fake emaill address as well) kindly get back to me as soon as  possible cause they inform me that they will be taken legal action  against you if they dont receive no mail from you today as well.. hope  to hear from you soon... have a great day..

Exact series of emails I received.  Tell her you know it's a scam.  After I told her i know it's a scam, all emails completely stopped. You can try ignoring, but she may continue to persist to get your attention and bully you.

Ha ha ha... This is just TO FUNNY and SILLY! I have had this scammer on the leash fir some days, insisting that he must pay my ORIGINAL PAYPAL INVOICE first, so I can have confirmed his shipping addres, before I can 'pay his agent via W.U.' He/she has not been so stupid to actually pay me the invoice, but IF he did..... ha ha ha.... the scammer would have bought some useless items, to be picked up by him self within 30 days! No refound... 🙂 I'm still trying to lure him in his own trap. 🙂
