Paypal Scammer [email protected]
Nigeria
The scammer wants to steal your merchandise and have you ship it to him
The scammer will want to purchase an ‘item’ you have for sale on Craigslist, Ebay or another online site and may offer you more than your asking price to have you remove your advertisement quickly.
He will ask you to receive payment via his 'verified' PAYPAL or BANK payment and ship the 'item' to a relative or friend for him.
In this scam Paypal has not received any money to be paid to you and you will lose your merchandise if you ship. It is almost impossible to stop a shipment.

like to purchase this item for my friend as a birthday gift so kindly
withdraw the advert from Craigslist but i will not be able to look at
the item or pick it up from your place because i am currently out of
the state,I'm representing my company on an official trip, You will be
shipping the item to my friend just because I'm buying the item for
him please I will like to know why you are selling the item and do you
have the receipt of the item,
I will offer you $430 for the item and will also add an extra $100 to
the money so as to cover the shipping and insurance charges via USPS
Express Mail,I will also add an extra $30 to the money to compensate
you for sealing a deal with me.
And about the payment, My mode of payment will be through PayPal
because it is fast for a safe,secure,reliable transaction and easy to
send money online, So get back to me with your PayPal email address or
send me a PayPal money request so that i can send out the payment and
