Good day i just complete with the payment and i forwarded to you the message i received from my bank with the payment CONFIRMATION ORDER? Hope you have read it as well I urge you to arrange for the item and go to nearest ELTA post and make the shipment after you are done with the shipment just send to me the shipment receipt issued to you by the ELTA agent to send to my bank to verify on the shipment receipt provided after verification your account will be with the sum amount of €450.00Euro

Congratulations! I just received an email from my bank, that the money has been deducted from my Bank account to your account and the money is temporally hold on pending by my bank?
The reason the money is hold on pending is that my banking organization is under a conduct law to protect both buyer and seller on any transaction for security purpose to secure both buyer and seller on online transaction?
So it's better we both get secured and safe under the banking procedure, the money has been deducted from my account and i don't have access to the money again so i urge you to make the shipment and provide the shipment receipts and send the shipment receipt to me to contact mt bank to verify and activate on your account ok? So i decided to forward the notification mail i received
from my bank to you and and also i hope you have as well received this notification too?
So this is the safe guide step you have to follow to get your account credited, as you have already known that the money is on pending, and without you following my bank procedure the money will remain on pending so i urge you to make the shipment as fast as you can and me to shipment receipt given to you by the post agent to send to my bank to verify and after, let my bank make the verification after verification your account will be activated immediately without delay.
So i urge you not to delay this transaction go and get the item shipped out immediately and update me immediately you are done with the shipment, less i forget the money is not yet available on your account and will not be available until you make the shipment and provide the shipment receipts ok?
Looking forward to read from you with the shipment receipts
Keep me informed immediately you are done with the shipment.
Thanks & Regards

Just got hit by this one. Be warned that they are talking Portuguese now.

I'm selling an expensive item on site "olx.pt", which is NOT like eBay, it have a much local range and most transactions are conducted on person and not by electronic means.

The mails come from Catia Maria <[email protected]> which is a very acceptable Portuguese name.
The mails were written in moderately good Portuguese (maybe a bit better than simple Google Translate) and they knew at least the name of the Portuguese Post Office, which show some degree of sophistication.

However it was quite obvious that they did not totally understand my replies.
The idea was the same, I should say the total price including shipping and my bank data in order for me to receive the money, the item should be sent to a "cousin" in Croatia, the name of the cousin was,of course:

nome do destinatário: Obinna Kingsley Chizoba
Endereço: Kaloubnis kuch korpusi 7 bina 30 varkrtili
Código Postal: 0105
País: Geórgia
Cidade: Tbilisi
Mobile Number; +99555701786

Let me say that this text have a small inconsistency, I will not point exactly where as I would be helping the scammers but that's exactly the type of things that we should note when parsing suspect mails.

They finish the message with "can I trust you?" :=)
