Any additional info on the ad?
so i sent information and got this reply
Ok just wanted to make sure nothing is been left out
What is your last asking price?payment will be sent using PayPal and ill handle the PayPal surcharge if they are any.Let me know if you are ok with this,so that I can arrange for pick up as i wont be able to do it myself as i am out of town at the moment.In the meantime,can you send me more pictures
Regards
Now i had never sold anything through Paypal but i use it alot for online buying so i knew some information but got them to explain the selling side. Then i got this email
Before i make the payment,there is something i need you to be aware of,i just received an email from the shipping company that will be in charge of the pick up.They are saying i need to pay them their fees which is 700 pounds before they proceed with coming for it and the only form of payment that they accept is Western Union Money Transfer.Where i am,the nearest union office is 8hrs from me and i could also send it online using their website,but they are not accepting any of my Credit cards.I dont know if it will be ok,if i include this agent's fees in the payment i will be sending you now,so on receipt of the total funds,you will remove the additional funds of 700 pounds and help me send it at your local Western Union office
By now I knew it was a Scam but thought i would see for definate as it could have been genuine
so i got this email
Payment completed
Please check your PayPal email for confirmation as you should have received notification from them
Also let me know your schedule,contact and location for the pickup
Here is the shipping company;s info for the transfer
Liam Daniels,
#112, Moarville Road, Speke,
Liverpool,L70 1AB
United Kingdom
On the Western Union receipt,you will find the MTCN number and also the name you used in sending the money and the exact amount sent,all thse will be needed by the agent in picking the chair up
NB:I sent extra 50 pounds for Western Union Charges
Unfortunately i deleted my confirmation email from the fake paypal but i put the address in my search engine and it bought me to this web address please be wary of any like this
