Hi

 

Its fake!! Nigerian scam

 

Ppal emails dont go in depth like that when u receive a payment

Yes they do address u by your full name did u give them this info?

 

Ppal do NOT ask for shipping info in order to receive payment

Ppal would NEVER tell u to ship an item first before u receive payment

 

When u get paid u will see the payment in your acc NEVER ship until u see cleared payment

 

Read up on how ppal works its important to save u from scammers like this!!!
