Just had a Morgan <Removed> (eventually got his name from email). Tried to purchase a golf club from me, then gave me this nonsense. Notice names don't match? Mobile number +4[Removed. Phone #s not permitted] Hello again, 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/junk/spam/trash of your email. I had a little problem with the courier agent. They said that they can only come for pick up after they receive their pick up fee through bank transfer but i am presently having issues with my bank so i'm unable to send it to them at the moment. I added the £300 they charged for the pick up so you will receive the total sum of £430. You'll please send the £300 to them via bank transfer now and here is the details needed for the transfer below: Name: Clemence <Removed> Account Number: <Removed> Sort Code: <Removed> Please let me know once you've sent the money so that I can make necessary arrangements. I informed Morgan / Clemence <Removed> that I had forwarded his details onto Police, needless to say nothing has came back. Be carefull People 👍

Yep, some dodgy characters out there. I'm glad the community are aware, but some poor soul, will fall for this hoodwink. Keep the warnings about this scam visible.
