I have recieved almost the Identical response to a classified ad at a newspaper. I goes as follows: Hello, Thanks for mailing back,i really appreciate it, am really interested in it and i will appreciate it if you can keep this item for me. Due to the nature of my job,phone calls making and visiting of website are restricted but I squeezed out time to check this advert. I cant be able to come and view it and. pay in cash but i have contact, pick up company they will be coming to pick it after i have paid for it,i can only pay through Paypal as i don't have access to my bank account online as i don't have Internet banking,but i have my bank account attached to my PayPal account and this is why I insisted on paying you through PayPal,so kindly get back to me with your full name and paypal email address so i can proceed with the payment now,but if you don't have an account with them you can set up a paypal account via {link to paypal} it very easy and fast, it wont take you than 3 minute to do that,I will proceed with the payment as soon as you send me your paypal email address and contact the pick up agent to arrange a convenient pickup time with you,once payment has been transferred and cashed. I believe i can trust you on this transaction. I hope to read back from you soon. Thanks Oliver -So, my question is, how are they going to get money or merchandise out of me? How does this scam work? Is there someway they can take money from me by my giving them my e-mail and name? Please let me know!!
