Craigslist, Ebay and other online buying/selling scams.

Fake interest in buying a synthesizer.

"PayPal" mail was sent from fake account - not from PayPal, and I was asked to transfer DKK 5.000 before receiving the amount for the synthesizer. A standard shipping fee for this size of synthesizer from Denmark to Ireland would be around DKK 700, not DKK 5.000.

Dear X, I have complete the payment for a Synthesizer into your paypal account, I think you have received a confirmation of payment from paypal on your paypal account email. I would like to check your spam message to payment confirmation message, if you don't see it in your Inbox because I found my own copy of the receipt for payment in my spam message.

I was ordered to pay 17,350 DKK to the Synthesizer, which includes Synthesizer shipping fee (5,000 DKK), Synthesizer money (12,000 DKK) and westernunion charges (350 DKK) to make the total amount of 17,350 DKK be deducted from my account now.

With regard to the email paypal sent to me, which is similar to yours, you will have to go and refund the shipping and transportation charges (5,000 DKK) to the shipping agent (Muniru Estell) via westernunion Money Transfer on westernunion website to https://www.westernunion.com/DK/en/agent-locator.html or the nearest westernunion agent to you, I have already paid the westernunion fees for you at paypal which is 350 DKK and after you've done, to get back to paypal by replying the payment confirmation message at: [email protected] with the westernunion MTCN Number (10 digit code) and scanned receipt, so that they can immediately release your pending total money (17,350 DKK) and freight forwarder (Muniru Estell) can be able to come and pickup the Synthesizer as he already has your address.

Here is the information for the shipping agent you are to send the 5,000 DKK to:

Name: Muniru Estell
Country: Ireland

Just go ahead and deposit 5,000 DKK via westernunion on the westernunion website at https://www.westernunion.com/DK/en/agent-locator.html or the nearest westernunion agent for you and complete this transaction, because I've done my part of making the payment and the sum of 17,350 DKK has been withdrawn from my account and it will be activated in your paypal account after you transferred 5,000 DKK to the agent and hope to read from you soon, thank you so much for selling this Synthesizer for me and my son and its been nice to have this transaction with you.

With best regards
