Says he is a marine biologist in Hawaii. These are emails he/she sent. Thanks for the details provided for the payment,am about to make the payment after which i have forward the pick up address to the shipping company immediately i got your response. But i just received the shipping quote right now,but the only problem am having now is there means of payment which is only by cash/western union money transfer. Which none of it is impossible for me to handle at the moment,so i just suggest to include the delivery fee in your payment which is $450 + $50 western union money transfer charges. So the total payment i will be transferring into your account will be $1550 + $500 = $2,050. And once i transferred the fund into your account you will have to deduct the shipping fee and help me to send it to there accounting department,so they can come for the pick up asap. Thanks and get back to me before i proceed with the payment. Hey ! Am glad to let you know that have sent the total payment into your account,and i knew PayPal will would have send you the confirmation of my payment by now. So kindly help me to get proceed in forwarding the moving fund to the shipping company on my behalf through Western Union service,and get back to me after that so they can come for the pick up as soon as all funds clear. Also don't forget to get the Western Union information across to PayPal customer care email for service verification,thanks and have a nice time.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.

Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
