You guys saved me.  Thank you so much.  I am selling bedroom furniture on Craigslist  for $3,000 and received the message below.  I'm pretty new to selling things online but I didn't just fall off the back of a hay truck...  Messages came from two different email addresses which I am not permitted to put in this message.  Emails do not look like they came from Nigeria as it was a Randy ******* from a GoogleMail account.   Thanks For Getting back to me ..I am buying this furniture and i am a military presently on a mission, and due to secrets of this mission, phone calls,and visiting of website are restricted but i squeezed out time to check this advert.i don't have access to my bank account online as i don't have internet banking , but i can pay from my paypal account, as i have my bank a/c attached to it,I don't mind paying additional $50 for it in order for you to take  the ad down from craigslist and also to be assured that it is already mine .i will need you to give me your paypal email address so i can make the payments asap for the item and pls if you don't have paypal account yet,  it is very easy to set up, go to www.paypal.com and get it set up, after you have set it up i will only need the e-mail address you used for the registration with paypal so as to put the money through. I have a pick up agent that will come and pick it up after i have made the payments  US Army OIF Veteran  ... View more
