Hello ,

Thanks for your mail,I have spoken to my client and he has instructed me to inform you that payment will get to you in a cashier check of $3,050 which is a refund payment of a cancelled order earlier made by my client.so you are required to deduct cost of the item i.e $350 when payment gets to you and refund balance $2,700 to my Agent via western union money transfer for him to be able to offset shipping charges. Since I reside in Fulham,London.
After payment has reached you and balance sent back to him,our agent will come and pick up receipt of sale and take it care of the shippment down to my country,while receipt, papers and other necessary documents will be sent to you via fedex courier to my customer. My client could send the check to you through fedex courier immediately. Please forward your full name! s, address and phone number.

Thanks and have a nice day

I told him I would be reporting him to F150online.com and to Yahoo. I also asked him how he sleeps at night knowing he could die the next day and go straight to hell. Also he is as bad as spammers who waste everyone's time and are the scum of the earth.

Scumbag!!! So hard to get people like this into the hands of justice!

 

Actually that is one of the scams going around. They send you too much money and ask for a refund of the rest. Then the original check or money order bouinces.
