As a general rule of thumb to follow, always ask that they provide a link to where they seen your item, most scammers only have a mailing list to go through so more than likely they won't know what you're selling, which is a major give away that they're trying to scam if they don't know what they're buying.

Hi all, I am currently dealing with vera.b111@sify.com and also andybenson59@gmail.com
However I did a quick search on Google and hey presto! Both Scammers!!!

My message was the same;

Hi, thanks for your response i am ok with the price, i may not come
over because of my job I work in airport and I have made promise about
this item. please let me know your payment method because i can only
pay you with paypal now and I will add additional 50 for postage fee
via royal-mail register .

Thanks
Vera

you can send me paypal money request to: vera.b111@sify.com or you let me
have your paypal email address and name so i can send the money now.


My ad was placed in Friday Ads also.

Also had replies off someone offering a laptop and N64 for trade? may also be a scam as he offered the same again when I relisted

All I want to do is sell my Bloody N97!!!!!!!!!

So I sent Andy, this "Thank you for your interest, but having just done a search on your email address it would appear that you are a scammer!!!!!!!

So, nice try but better luck with the next fool!!
"

and he replied with "What did you mean by this or did you think i am like those stupid and
useless scammed that don't have anything to do and i want you to know
that i am a well known business man right here meaning that i have my
own work and not a useless scammed...so stop saying foolish words and
get back to me asap
"


Seems these idiots just don't give up!!

Mar6 what the scammers are trying to do is con you into thinking that their wanting to pay by paypal is good and safe. What they are actually planning is for you to send over your products to them, they get them and then reverse the payment through paypal. They would get their money back through reversing payment and get the products you sent.
