Hi everyone i had received email to buy some stuff that i have for sale, i contacted the buyer through email and for a while I thought that he is a genuine. Surprisingly, I received email from paypal.com.au stating that the fund is been sent to my account, however no money was in my account. And the email stated that once I transfer amount of $400 by western union the remaining $530 will be credited.

I have just got in touch with Paypal again to release funds into your account, i was told that they need to confirm shipping charges as they don't want to bear any loss of money. They told me they are using the means to protect both buyers and sellers. They further explained they had various issues of sellers not confirming shipping and they will have to pay buyers back because it's a kinda insured payment. i want you to go ahead and send the shipping charges fee via western union tomorrow and get back to Paypal with a copy of the western union receipt for them to confirm payment for you. Funds will clear into your account after verification which takes 24 hrs. As soon as funds clear into your account kindly send the western union info to me so that my shipper can get the item from you. I think things will work out this way.
