Remember:

• DO NOT do business with anyone who offers to send you payment for a higher amount than your selling price with the understanding that you'll send back the balance.


• Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be acting on behalf of a "client" or another "customer".


• Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be from Nigeria or West Africa


• If you agree to accept a check payment, then do not send anything, gear or "change" before the check cleared. And be careful, if you manage to clear a fraudulent check then you may be liable for the damages if the bank finds out later. Make sure your bank authenticates the check.


• If it sounds to good to be true, then it probably is.

Thanks for the reply, i work with New Zealand Oil and Gas (NZOG) and
we are presently offshore in New Zealand Taranaki Basin on kupe
project, i am at sea right now so l wont be able to check the canopy
but l need the details about the canopy and also l will be more happy
if you can send me some pictures of it because am buying this for my
Dad as a surprise gift so am willing to offer you the amount you
required. I can only pay through PayPal at the moment as i don't have
access to my bank account online(i don't have internet banking with
it), but i have itattached to my PayPal account, and this is why i
insisted on using PayPal to pay,all i will need is your PayPal email
address to make the payments, and if you don't have a PayPal account
yet, you can set one up at www.paypal.com it cant take you less than
3mins to do that, i will be expecting your PayPal email so l can pay.
I have a pick up agent that will come for the pick up after payments
has been sorted. l will be waiting for your reply asap




Please i just got a mail from the shipping company that i will need to
pay for the freighting fees before they can schedule pre-shipping/
pickup date,they charged $450 for the pick up and delivery, but the
problem is they only accept Western union transfer as form of payment
which is sent to their HQ in USA.as you are well aware of, I am away
at sea and do not have access to Western union, most post offices have
Western union section,will it be OK with you if I add the $450 to the
amount I am transferring? and as soon as the money goes through you
can help me make the Western union of the freighting fees through
Western union money transfer? You are not obliged to help me, but i
will indeed appreciate your help as I am a little incapacitated here.



What i am trying to tell you is that the $450 is for the shipping and
insurance only because i have some other items that i bought in USA
which i want it to be shipped together with the canopy that is what
make the shipping money come to a total of $450, when i make the
payment now i will add $450 to the canopy money which is $900 making
the total of $1,350, all you have to do is that as soon as you receive
the payment in your PayPal account you will help me send the $450 to
the pick up agent via western union money transfer okay.I will be
making the payments shortly.Thanks




I have made the payments and PayPal emailed me confirming check your
PayPal email address for the PayPal confirmation email,PayPal said
that they holding the money I sent because of the excess payment that
I made which was the money for pick up Agent, I will need you to send
the $450 to my pick up agent so that they can be able to book a pick
up time with you in time and PayPal will put the money through and you
are credited with $1,400 do send the $450 through Western unionmoney
transfer,you can find a western union agent in almost around you or
you can do it online too,I added $50 to cover the western union
charges to send the $450 after you have send the money get back to me
with the western union details, the mtcn number which you will be
given by western union after you have sent the money as well as the
sender's name and address or you can email it to PayPal directly.

Here is my pick up agent's info that you will need to send the money
to through western union money transfer:

Accountant Name : Dana Stavedahl
Address: 6041 E State Rd 110,
Tippecanoe, IN 46570
United State

I will need the details of the transfer once you have sent fund .

1.The MTCN number that is the 10 digits number on the Western Union receipt
2.Sender's name and address used in sending the money
3.Actual amount sent.

I will need the address where the canopy will be picked up,As my pick
up agent will contact you to book a pick up time after they have
received payments but they will have to book a time that is convenient
for you,hope this is clear and understand ?
