hi does this sound genuin? i was selling a camera on gumtree got a msg from a man calling himself GORDAN BROWN haha he says hes paid in this email but i aint sendin till i know for sure, and would it cost more than a tenner for post? :bonkers:

Hi there,

Payment has been made.I just double check my paypal account now, It shows that the money has been deducted from my account to yours but the payment might show pending in your account now because the payment is been held by paypal so it will only fully become available in your account when you ship the package and email the shipment tracking number or any form of proof of shipment to paypal, once paypal receive proof of shipment from you,they will release the money to your account. I would suggest you login to the email address of your paypal account to check for the payment confirmation notice from paypal to prove that I have sincerely paid.

Do not hesitate to email back if you need any assistance.

Kindly post the item to my shop keeper as soon as possible and let me know when that is done.



Engr. Osarodion. A

11 Akharia street off mela motel road,

Off osakpamwan street,

Uselu Benin city, Edo State,

23452, Nigeria.

(+234)80-55-22-06-93




He is my shop keeper selling the goods for me overthere.

Kindly post the Item directly to him via ROYAL MAIL

Thanks and nice buying from you.

Gordon
