It seems like no one it's able to stop these guys.
they have changed names and email addresses, but are still able to send phishing emails.
see below, a similar scenario:
Great! please consider it sold and remove the adverts as i am willing to pay your full asking price because i need to buy it for my cousin asap, i have read through the advert and i'm totally satisfied with it,sadly i would not be able to come personally to collect due to my condition as am on wheelchair and I'm just recovering from heart surgery so I'm home-bound.
I have a courier agent that would help me to pick it up at your preferred location after
you have received your money and i'll pay you via PayPal today.
In order to avoid mistakes could you confirm the exact amount that i need to send into your PayPal account?
OK, that's fine..i will keep you updated regarding payment and courier.
I am glad to inform you that i have made the payment! PayPal said that they have sent you a confirmation email so kindly check the inbox of your email.
I had a little problem with the agent they said they can only schedule the pick up date and time after they receive their pick up fee in their head office via MoneyGram, but due to my health conditions i'm unable to get to a MoneyGram shop to send it. I added the £210 they charged for the pick up and £40 for the MoneyGram charges,you will receive the total sum of £400
You'll send £210 to them via MoneyGram today and here is the details needed for the transfer below:
First name: Korede
Last name: Favour
Country : Nigeria
Please let me know once you've sent the money so that i can make necessary...
Hi,
What's the update?have you completed the transfer yet?please get back to me asap!

GUMTREE SCAM Similar worded emails re gumtree from tel number supposedly called who used a gmail.com acct

They also ‘needed’ a Paypal acct to ‘send’ the whole amount and asked me to pay the balance to Western Union
details as follows

City Istanbul
Country. Turkey. That was March 14 I reported it to my bank. Now Paypal is aware too but what are they doing about it?
