I got one here too.

He want to change my order to 10 pieces too.   I was immediately skeptical when he wanted to place an order without pricing.
F those Nigerian scammers

Ya I received the same Tom Lennox V&E construction email also.  He wanted to take 20 rolls of #160 chain.
Guess he was planning on decorating his small office in San Francisco.
415 325 2158 does not answer their phone either.

I just got this same one!

Here is how the "PayPal Scam" or any other "online money service" scam works:

Says they will buy the item and will pay extra to cover charges by his shipping agent.
Says he will PayPal the funds and instruct you to send the extra money via wire transfer or pre-paid card to the agent.
He then sends you a fake PayPal deposit notice email, spoofing the official PayPal notice, that says the money has been put into your account.
You, thinking PayPal has your money, go ahead with the wire/prepaid transfer to the shipping agent, who is really the scammer.
After that, you then find out there was no money transferred to PayPal and are out the money your wired.


Here is how a "Craigslist Scam" or any other "I will send you a check for more than you asked" scam works:

He pays for the item + extra funds to cover his shipping agent costs with a bank draft or cashiers check.
He sends you a check, tells you to cash it and send the extra money to his shipping agent via wire transfer or prepaid card.
You cash/deposit check and wire/prepaid the funds to the agent.
Later, the check bounces as it was counterfeit. The money you sent to the agent, who is really the scammer, is unrecoverable due to it being wire transferred/prepaid card.
You are out money and now run the risk of being arrested for passing a counterfeit check.

My wife answered the first time and said that she was not interested.  After that they called again 15 minutes later.  Didn't answer.  They didn't leave a message.
