Subject: Warning Alert: FBI In Collaboration With PayPal Concerning The Transaction

Dear xxxxxxx

This is to inform you that the transaction between You and your client Benny Scott via PayPal and it has been reported to us, Which a legal action will be taken over you,because we are told that you refuse to complete with the procedure for the success of the transfer which has been approved as normal transfer and yet PayPal has not received the necessary information they needed from you while the transfer has exceeded the normal hours to complete the transfer,and you have to make the Refund of the money via Western Union immediately. You are given 24 hours after this alert.

Nevertheless, we want you to go and make the transfer of the money now,and mind you do not send the necessary details and the Western Union Scan receipt to the buyer but we want you to send the information directly to this email because the transfer issue has been forwarded to us.

We are the security agent assigned for the payment of the amount 23,400.00 CZK to your bank account, because you have to make the transfer of the 9,500.00 CZK first to confirm the remittance of your money into your bank account,and without you making the Transfer of the money, PayPal will not credit your money into your account and you will be charged for fraud after the 24 hours of which you had received this message and we also serve as agent to you because once we receive the transfer information from you, your account must be accredited within the next minute.

So you have to get back to us with the transfer details and also send to us the confirmation of the Western Union Money Transfer receipt of payment to us so we can get the prove from you and if PayPal did not transfer the money to your account we can get them charged for dispute transfer system.

Thanks and we look forward to hear from you soon.

My shipper would be coming around to your area to have it picked up once you have sent the shipping charges fee to them,as i need you to let me know what time you want them to come for the pick up . I advises you to check your Inbox or your Junk/Spam mail in case you did not get the confirmation email from PayPal yet.

I will be waiting to hear from you once the money has been sent to my shipper

From: benny scott [mailto: [email protected] ]
Subject: [ExS_SPAM] please follow procedure!!!

I want you to understand that the payment has been made already and the money has been transferred in excess into your account.But PayPal temporarily hold the money for you to send the Shipping fee of 9,500.00 CZK to the address giving to you before they can credit your account with the full payment of 23,400.00 CZK .

So i will advice you to go to the nearest western union office and deposit the Shipping fee of 9,500.00 CZK so that we can arrange the pickup and then your account can be credited immediately and When you are through with western union,you should send me the details you get from western union and the western union scan copy receipt by sending the pickup fee and also to PayPal for verification so that they can activate your account...

This Scammer will arrange to send you a Paypal payment -- Make no mistake, the Paypal payment will be fake !
If you are reading this because you have received a fake Paypal payment, kindly forward it to the address in my signature line and I will report the details to the appropriate authorities.

Hi,
I got the same mail from ths guy, I got some paypal pending to my spam, I didnt open it.
Should I some how react on this? OR it will be enough if I will just put him black lists?

Do not respond to it. Just ignore the scammer. Just vanish. Make him wonder what has happened.

Forward the fake Paypal emails to Paypal. This might get the fake Paypal email address killed.

Forward the entire email to [email protected].
Do not alter the subject line or forward the message as an attachment.

The scammer sent you a fake Paypal payment. He has a fake Paypal address from a free email provider/fake website. The payment would look real. Its a screen shot of a fake payment.


Cars/furniture/horses and large items: He will make a fake over payment andl instruct you to pay a mover, shipper or agent. The fake Paypal email from the scammer will 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, jewelry 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.
