WOW! Thanks for posting this information. I JUST ended a scam that was exactly like the one above. Here's how it went - notice the spelling errors and poor usage of grammar.

Subject: Re: Armoire or Entertainment Center - $1800
Thank Am Ok with the price $1,850.00 i will make the payment in to your paypal accountas soon as i here back from you. there is a little problem with the shipping agent, I am currently on sea and i am buying the it for my dad as i explained earlier on and i tried to book pick up with my pick up agent, but they asked me to pay first before they can make the booking, and they only accept western union money transfer for payments and they dont accept paypal or bank transfer and I tried to send the money online but i couldnt, i'm tired now, i dont know what to do.. I am on sea and there is no way i can find a western union agent to make the transfer to my pick up agent. I will like to know if, its ok for me to include my pick up agent's fees in the payments I'm about to send to you through paypal, my pick up agent charged $600 plus insurance and all 'o that, after i have made the payments you will help me forward the $600 to my pick up agent through western union money transfer, this I would have done myself and not bother you but, for the fact that I am currently on sea, it will be difficult for me and i will like the whole transaction to be done as soon as possible and i can be the next owner. I only seeking your consent before going ahead with the payments. I will so much happy to hearing back from you soonest and i can go on with the payment without any delay. Please email me as soon as posible Thank you
