I got the same exact email as posted .... I thought it was really fishy so wanted to google the name, then find that the exact email word for word has been used before, requesting Paypal information! Good thing I checked...

Hi there,

Thank you for getting back to me.Can you assure me that it's in
good state and that i will not be disappointed with it?I'm ready to
pay your asking price and to be honest, i want to buy this for my Dad
as his birthday gift. I a marine biologist that works on the sea at
the moment. phone calls making and visiting of website are restricted
but i squeezed out time to check this advert and

send you an email regarding it so my only quickest payment option is
PayPal as i can send money via PayPal anytime.Since I'm requesting
this transaction to be done via PayPal, i will be responsible for all
the pay pal fee/charges on this transaction and if you don't have an
account with paypal,its pretty easy, safe and secured to open one.
Just log on to http://www.paypal.com.

I hope we can make the purchase as fast as possible? I have a mover
that will come for it once payment clears . i will like to see more
pictures and you last price, i look forward to hear back from you
soon. details that i needed are below Your
PayPal e-Mail Address :

Full name: Firm Price:

Your cell phone number:

God bless you .


Thanks.

Welcome to Scamwarners CarlyCar, I am glad google led you here and you avoided a scam attempt.

The scammer wanted to send you a fake Paypal payment. He has a fake Paypal address from a free email provider. The payment would look real. Its a screen shot of a fake payment. Depending on what you were selling he would either try to steal your money or property. If it was a vehicle or large item, he would pretend to make an overpayment. He then will instruct you to pay a mover, shipper or agent. The fake Paypal email from the scammer would say that your Paypal funds will be released when you send the scammer (mover,agent or shipper) money via Western Union or Money Gram. In reality Paypal would never hold your funds.

Log into Paypal directly without any links to check for monies received or call Paypal directly from the number on their site.

If you are selling electronics, Cell phones or computers then the scammer is trying to steal your "item". Your fake funds will be released when you send the scammer a scan copy of a receipt showing you mailed your item.

This same scam works with fake check and money orders. You and your bank will think they are real. After you cash the fake check. Days or weeks later your bank will inform you of the fraud. Your bank will have you repay the monies. Possibly close your account for fraud and report you to Law Enforcement.

The best thing to do is to sell in person face to face in a public place.
