Thanks for your response, I need you to understand that i am willing
and ready to purchase it right away, put it off the AD site, consider
me as your favorite buyer, and Please note that i have a shipper/mover
who handles my shipping arrangement anywhere in the world and i will
add extra $900 for the shipping fee and he would be coming for the
pickup, after you have received payment, which would be through
paypal, If this is acceptable, advice soon as i work as a petroleum
engineer and am currently offshore, i am at work right now .I can only
pay through PayPal at the moment as i do not have access to my bank
account online,but i have it attached to my pay pal account, and this
is why i insisted on using pay pal to pay,all i will need is your
paypal email address to make the payments,and if you do not have a
paypal account yet,its pretty easy to set one up at http://www.paypal.com,i
will be expecting your email.I have a pick up agent that will come for
the pick up after payments has been sorted. I want you to provide me
with the following information for me to proceed with the Payment...
Your PayPal e-Mail Address :
Your Full name:
What is the condition?
Are you the Original Owner?
Your Picked Up Location Address?
I have a pick up agent that will come and pick it up after i have made
the payments.

The second e-mail made me a wary but I sent my information to the person anyway. He can't get into my PayPal and even if he did the only thing on it is a pre-paid debit card, my way of ruining the plans of potential scammers. After that I recieved an e-mail saying that PayPal had recieved payment but it was put on hold until I paid the transporter. The wedding dress I post was only $1000 but he/she wanted me to Western Union $900 to his transporter. What is really scary is that the e-mail from the faux PayPal is hard to tell if it is real or fake.

Instead of playing the game his way I sent an invoice via Paypal for the dress and his $950 in shipping costs. I also sent an e-mail explaining that I could not pay the upfront shipping costs. As I sit here and tell you about my story I recieved another e-mail from the "buyer" and the added bonus of an e-mail from his transport company.

Hello xxx,
Thanks for the mail... I really understand you, but i want you to
know that there is no way PayPal could credit your money to your
account if they don't receive the Western Union information from
you...I have also email PayPal on your behalf and they assure me that
they will credit your full funds to your PayPal account once they
receive the Western Union information from you as valid... So kindly
go and look for the $900 and send it out now to the Shipping Agent
address and once it has been send out, kindly email me with the
Western Union information so i can forward it to PayPal for
verification and confirmation and i assure and guarantee you that your
full funds will be credited into your PayPal account asap.
Thanks.
