i am getting worried here as my account has been debited and i have not heard anything from you after sending the payment.you can email paypal to confirm this as i emailed them and i was made to know that the money was placed on hold and your account will only be credited after transferring the money via Money Gram and send the details to them for verification.i was also made to belief that it's done that way to protect both buyers and sellers.i'm sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused you.thanks always for your understanding.

Hello again,
I am glad to inform you that i have made the payment! PayPal said that they have sent you a confirmation email so kindly check the inbox of your email.
I had a little problem with the agent they said they can only schedule the pick up date and time after they receive their pick up fee in their head office via moneygram, i'm unable to get to a moneygram shop to send it. I added the £350 they charged for the pick up and £50 for the moneygram charges,you will receive the total sum of £2,200.
You'll send £350 to them via moneygram today and here is the details needed for the transfer below:

John Richards
City: Monaco
State: Monaco
Zip Code: 98000
Country: France.

Please let me know once you've sent the money so that i can make necessary arrangements.

Can I ask why you are using an alternative address which on investigation via Google comes up as a scam email address?

LOL you think I am stupid, I knew from the minute you said you were in a wheelchair and hard of hearing where this was going. I am sure LOL, you can get your ‘sent money’ back through paypal. I will make it easier, send someone with the money, REAL MONEY, and we can do a deal, although I don’t think that is what you intended, especially based in the USA!hahaha.

I love the courier details!

If you still have the receipt for your brain, take your brain back you might still get refunded for ‘not used for purpose’

I hope this will be your last correspondence


The scam works by you having to send money through MoneyGram, and thats the last you see of yur money, and there is no money coming in from Paypal. DO NOT GET TAKEN IN BY THEM
