This familiar scammer has now started approaching sellers on a site for buying and selling baby things: Babybay.ie - a genuine site that's new at the game and sure to be tried out by the scammers.
Another recent scam by him can be found here: http://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=45573
Subject: Product contact mail from Babybay.ie
Then an odd request - remember he's not stated where he is:
Subject:Re: Product contact mail from Babybay.ie
Then another unusual request - can you use the scammer's nominated courier, and can you pay for the courier via paypal? Of course, he offers to pay extra for this, but it's just the scammer's accomplice or other identity - there is no courier, only the scammer wanting a payday. (I shall post a copy of this mail when one is available.)
Then, the Fake paypal mail will be sent to you pretending to hold on to the payment until you have sent the money to the fake courier. (I shall post a copy shortley.)
Note: The email did NOT originate from PayPal.
PayPal is an online money transfer service and would never use a competing money transfer service to receive a payment.
PayPal does not have an escrow service and does not hold payments for buyer/seller protection.
