sorry, cant transact with another payment mode at the moment as i can only have access to my paypal account and it is attached with my bank account. fund transfered through paypal will clear into ur bank account in 3-5 working days. i hope this will give u confidence in transacting through paypal

u can set up a paypal account with a tip of ur finger all u need to do is to log on to www.paypal.com after u are done withe the registration u can now send the address at which u used to set up the account payment will be made as soon as i receive the email address. paypal is easy to use reliable and convenient look forward to doing business with u

Best regards

I got the same emails a couple of days ago.
Told the scammer to call the number listed in the ad to "discuss" the transaction.
This was the reply received this morning

Thanks for the mail..Due to the nature of my work,phone calls making and visiting of website are restricted but i squeezed out time to check this advert and send you an email regarding it.

Don't worry about the pick up,my shipping agent will be coming to pick it up.I'll like you to send me your address so that my shipping agent can figure it out and come for the pick up and other necessary things....more so,send me your PayPal details(PayPal email) so i can pay in.

Await your response.

Matt

My reply was "Not a chance. All past & future correspondence from you will be referred on to the AFP"
