Scam emails

[Johnbrown05]

I received a email saying this could anyone let me know if this is a scam as a sent a payment request before seeing that there are scams. Great!please consider it sold 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 hearing loss and me being in wheelchair. 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.  Where is the pick up location so that i can inform the courier agent about it now?

THIS SOUNDS LIKE A TYPICAL PAYPAL SCAM....READ THE FOLLOWING AND SEE IF IT FITS.

They encourage you to use paypal and often ask you to send the item as a gift to a relative somewhere often Nigeria.

You will get/got a "fake" email that looks as though it is from paypal.....it isn't.

It will say the buyer has paid ...you won't have been paid.

If the item requires shipping they will tell you that they will pay you extra and you must pay the agent via western union / moneygram BEFORE the funds are released to you.

They are not interested in the item, they just want the western union etc funds and you will never see money in your paypal balance.

They also threaten legal action...have a laugh at that one and ignore it as its rubbish.

Paypal NEVER tell you to send an item before the payment is showing in your paypal account.

Paypal NEVER expect you to use a rival money transfer service.

Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.
