This scammer is claiming to be a buyer of hair and is emailing those placing adverts at http://sellhairstore.com
His first mail comes through the site's mailing system - just like a genuine buyer - and looks like this:
Subject: [This will be a direct quote of the advert's title]
From: sean chris <[email protected]>
To: [email protected]
This is his second script:
Note the offer of overpayment.
Then there follows a faked PayPal mail, claiming that your money is being held until you prove that you have paid the courier.
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.
- Details of the fake paypal address and mail will be added to this post as soon as I can get hold of them.
