Scammers: Julie Lay and Dennis Olakunle

I have a laptop for sale and was contacted by Julie Lay. Long story very short is she asked no real buyer questions regarding my $1250 laptop and seemed very rushed to pay me. She asked me several times for my pay pal acct info. Another weird thing was on her second email to me she included a picture of a NC drivers license for Julie Lay...looked authentic. I suspect the real Julie Lay's license has been stolen

 

Julie Lay's email address is a yahoo acct, starts with silverjones84

 

She said she was in N Carolina but would never give me a shipping address. Then she tells me I need to ship it to the following address:

 

Dennis Olakunle
22. Olubodun Street Ijesha
Surulere
Lagos 23401
Nigeria
 
Again, she was willing to pay whatever the shipping quote I gave her PLUS $50 and wanted my pal pal acct. realizing this was all very bogus I did some googling and found that Olakunle had scammed several pay pal acct holders in the UK.

New name they are using: Kelly Perronne.

 

Same thing, they wanted to know about my laptop on Amazon. Someone has to stop these people.
