Thanks for your fast response.
I am an Oceanographer and am currently on the sea at the moment, I am
buying the item as a gift for my daughter,i want to make it a surprise
gift for her, she won't know anything about the gift until they get
delivered to her.
So I want you to reassure me that the item is in good condition as you
have described. I can only pay through PayPal. So please kindly get
back to me with your payment money request to my PayPal email address
at (tshawcross1st@gmail.com
) so that I can proceed with the payment
and after the payment has been done,i have a pick up agent that will
come around to pick the item up immediately after payment has been
made.
Please get back to me with your direct email address towards fast payment.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Then i send this:
Where did you go Tony?:

Two words tripped him up one was my agent the other was G Mail. It is hard to believe with all the info out on these scammers that they have not changed there modus operandi.It is sad when some one falls for there scams as there usually desperate to sell there item. I only hope when someone does fall for it that there as big a theif as the scammer.
