Hahaha! Thank goodness that I'm a paranoid android! Here's a another conman example that's so close to your example... Below is the email trail. *sigh*


I'm interested in the item, please let me know if you still have it for sale?

Thanks,

Hi! I have waited to read from you long ago and was thinking you already sold out the stuffs. I'm living in the UK with my family and my mobile is +447024047515. please at what condition is the lens? i need to know the present condition and if all the accessories are intact because i am buying it for my grandson as a birthday present.

Awaits your response,
Regards

Okay! Thanks for keeping me updated, please do understand that i really want the lens for him before the due date of his birthday because he's working on a project right now in West africa. let me know how much dhl express would charge for shipment. His birthday is on the 23rd of this month and the shipping info is

17, okesalu street, ikotun-egbe
Lagos - 23401, Nigeria

Please inquire from dhl and let me know the cost of shipment so that i can send the money to you.

Waiting to read from you soon.
Regards,

Hi! I appreciate your kind gesture, just that my work doesn't permit me to buy the lens here, go to the post office and post it to him but i'd be very glad if you could render me the favor, i will bear the shipping cost including the transport fare from your place to the dhl office because i already promised to get him the present long ago but my work doesn't create room for me to buy the lens for him here. please send me your pay-pal email and full name so as for me to send the money to you.

Awaits your response,
Regards,

Hi! Sorry for the late response because I had already left the computer yesterday by the time you sent the message, i log on this morning and got your message. I have sent the money to you, i checked with pay-pal converter and added 178pounds to cover shipping cost. please let me know as soon as you receive confirmation from pay-pal and also let me know what time you want to ship the parcel to him.

What a colossal was of time. It's a good thing I noticed when I received an email from 'PayPal' saying that he's already credited the money into my PayPal account but they're holding it until I email "payservice_references@in.com" the tracking number before releasing the money into my PayPal account. So I logged into my account via PayPal's website, I didn't see any transaction at all. And so, I Googled the address of the email and here I am. So let everyone be aware of this. If in doubt, always always always log in to PayPal directly from their own site to check. And if you're still unsure, send PayPal an email to verify. So conclusion, payservice_references@in.com IS NOT from PayPal. vmad.gif

Well, I didn't fall for it. I was parznoid the whole time. But I'm not one to discriminate a valid customer just because it may be linked to Nigeria. But unfortunately, it was a scam. I even forwarded the email from 'PayPal' to PayPal and they've confirmed that it was indeed a scam.

Oh well...live and learn. Share with people your experiences so others will learn too. Never under estimate how gullible people can be. And nowadays, common sense just isn't that common anymore. Haven't you heard? ;-)
