Re: Pick up is $900 ...I have make the Payment In Full..Reply asap

Yes i just have an account with the agent Head Quarter in USA but its going to my son in Adelaide, SA. Kindly make the transfer first thing tomorrow morning and get back to me as soon as you are done...

I've had the same thing and stupidly sent money and am now being accused of ripping him off. Catch him!! Now I'm paranoid. Did he end up just going away?

Thought I'd sold an EPOS system. Told that money had been transferred to PayPal, which I should have checked & did'nt.. It had not been transferred. The 'sale' was to a France Williams and pick up/collection through Tiffany Matthews [same person I suspect]. Told I had to pay £250 Sterling collection plus additional £550 GB sterling for insurance via Western Union & monies would be released once the Western Union MTCN nos had been transferred. All this was done - I'm now £800 sterling lighter, Tiffany Matthews/France Williams, the thieving [***] are that much richer. At least I still have the EPOS system
