In this scam the scammer does not want your "item" or car. He wants to steal your money. He will have you pay the fake shipper or agent.

Fake Paypal emails and scammer threats. [email protected] is not the Paypal email address. There are several things wrong with this scammers fake Paypal email. We will not point them out here. We do our best not to educate scammers and teach them how to get better. Online ad sales should be done in person face to face, cash in a public place. Verify funds in your Paypal account by logging into it directly without any links given. To be sure call Paypal. On there true site through the contact link you will be given a code and number to call. Keep all messages within the site you are on. Do not communicate with your personal email address. Do not trust text messaging. Scammers prefer text messaging. Phone calls are not to be trusted either. With VOIP a scammer can be located any where in the world. Once you have Identified the scammer just simple ignore him. Do not engage him or play with him.

Subject: Re: PAYMENT MADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I

Why the silence. I have already made your payment for my item via
paypal and i am sure they must have contacted you about the payment
which has been deducted from my account and you have not responded
neither has paypal inform me that the transaction is still on so i
want you to know that paypal are working in conjuction with FBI so if
you think of jerking me of my money you will have them to contend with
so pls reply to my mail as soon as possible because once the money is
approved by paypal it will not be returned into my account so i don't
want to lose my money pls i rather add more to it for you than to
loose the whole money so i am expecting your reply.

I have been given an additional email address for this group.

Hmm...Google this address:
40 Obafemi Awolowo Way Abeokuta Ogun State 23403 NG

His address in Google voice is listed as: Milford, NJ. Gee, he's using Google Voice, too. What a Doush.

Google this guy's address, and find this scamwarners post. He's definitely NIGERIA scum.

DON'T GIVE THIS GUY A DIME!!

Updating with some new information that was given to me. This scammer is not in the US Military. He is in West Africa sitting in an Internet Cafe. He is a citizen of Nigeria. He steals peoples names and attempt to scam.

Am okay with your price,do you accept certified cashier check? I will have it mail out to you via the defense courier service and once you've got it cashed my mover will schedule pickup at your location.Sgt.Lyon (USAF)451st Air Expeditionary Wing,Bagram Airbase,Afghanistan

The scammer will ask the Seller to cash a fake Cashiers Check / Money Order / Certified Check that is for more than the price of the 'item'. He will then ask the Seller to send the over payment to his Fake Shipper / Agent by Western Union or Moneygram to pay for the pickup and shipping.

The check / Money Order will be fake it will look real. Do not deposit or cash it.
Even if your bank tells you that the check/Money Order has cleared, it does not mean they will take responsibility for it when it is returned. They are required by law to give you access to money within a few days.

But later, when the check/Money Order goes to a clearance house or the original bank, the check/Money Order will be returned and you will be held responsible.

It can take days, weeks, or even months for the fraud to be discovered and you will be required to pay all of the money back, regardless of who sent the check/Money Order to you. The bank also may have you charged with 'Financial Fraud'.

This same scam can be done with Fake Paypal Payments. The scammer will send you an email pretending to be from PayPal with Payment Made. He will then tell you to pay the mover / shipper / agent via Western Union or Money Gram. If you send money by this method. You will never see it again.
