Hi, I'm strangely proud to have been the victim of my first attempted Nigerian Paypal scam. I have had a similar experience as the posts above (except this time for a 3 piece furniture suite), and recieved the initial mail; Thanks for your response, I want you to consider this a deal as i am willing to pay your full asking price! i actually want to buy it for a family member who is urgently in need of it, i have checked through your posting and i'm fully satisfied with it. Unfortunately, i would not be able to come personally to view/collect, i work offshore as an instructor on a oil rig so i dont have time at all, but like i said i am 100% OK with the advert. However, i have a reliable courier that would help me to pick it up at your preferred location after you have received your money via PayPal as that is the only means of payment available to me at the moment. I would also appreciate if you could remove the advert asap. To start off with, please get back to me with suitable collection time so that i can inform the courier agent about it now. This guys name was Kieth Aiden aka Adun Adeoye, but needless to say I wont be sending him any money. The emails were quite realistic, so I can see how some people can fall for it..
