Someone actually is interested to buy my massage chair which cost more than $2000 and don't want to view it. His excuse is pathetic, he says that he is buying for his in law and that his job scope does not allow him to have the time to view it. And yet i am quite surprised that he has the time to type such a long email. But nevertheless i decided to go along with it as i am looking to sell this item badly. Its only when i realised that the sender is using paypal as a fake name and the fact that i need to withdraw money from my account when i know that its a scam. He sent a total of 3 emails. The mails naturally are classified as junk (he also mentioned that it will be in the junk mail folder, which is a good trick) But anyway, I forwarded the emails to spoof@paypal.com
But one thing i want to know is that by opening the email and declassifying it from the junk mail. Will my email account be at threat???

When you think about it we send emails to loads of strangers so it shouldn't make any difference as long as your password is trong.
Just ignore them, if you do then they won't want to bother with you again as they are after someone they can scam.
Its when you continue baiting them when you realise its a scam that they may register your email to some dodgy sites !!

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
