Be careful with anyone seeking to buy parts with the name Krupp DukeJR
Put the cuda nos trunk floor on ebay, on ebodiesonly and on Craigslist NY and NJ and started to get emails about the purchase.
Received an email seeking to pay hundreds of dollars over the asking price and to send the extra sum to a buyers agent. Claimed payment would be made by paypal and that I was to send the difference to person in Florida by Money Gram Transfer/ The buyer agent was to pick up the part
I put the ad out for pick up only anyway.
Have to luv this stuff, but my birthday wasn't January 25th.
Below I copied the email= thought members would enjoy the "transaction details" below:

Money sent, Please kindly Check your paypal email that is link with ur
paypal acct payment Inbox/ Junk or spam e-mail messages for
confirmation of payment and further instructions on how to complete
this transaction at your end. The said funds have been
debited/deducted from my PayPal account including the Agent shipper
fee & additional $100 bucks for the Money Gram transfer services
charges. Kindly proceed to the nearest Money Gram office asap and send
out the excess funds made available for the pickup fee and this should
be sent from your pocket to the shipper's head office via Money Gram
Transfer, Bear in mind, the Money Transfer details should be sent to
paypal in order for your funds to be fully processed and remitted into
your account by paypal after all transaction data is confirmed.

So get back to paypal via mail "with the details on the receipt that
will be given to you at the Money Gram Transfer office after you have
had the money sent" in order for paypal to complete the full
processing of your funds and your money made available for cash out in
your account.

Here is the shippers information that the Money should be sent to
below, Shippers Information:Name: Ramos S Nelson
City: NAPLES,
Florida 34116
USA.



I will like to bring to your attention that I am an honorable man and
will love to notify you that Money Gram Transfer is an independent
money transfer agents and there is absolutely no way for me or my
shipper or anybody to receive the money sent via Money Gram Transfer
if we do not have the necessary details for the transfer (REF #). And
this are the details that Money Gram will give to you, as soon as you
send the money via them.

Also, as soon as you send the details given to you at the Money Gram
to paypal via email, paypal will verify it and credit your account. So
head or tail, you absolutely have nothing to worry about because, your
money is secured with Money Gram and no one can take it out without
this details (REF #) which you are required to send to paypal via
email. And after confirming the Money Gram Transfer details to paypal
via email and paypal completes the processing of your funds into your
account and you receive your money cash in hand, keep me informed, so
that I can notify my shipper after you must have received your money
cash in hand to come for the pick-up. Note, some times paypal have
issues with their system or their server , so when they send out
confirmations E-mail it deliver lately or even been find on your junk
or spam, so check your junk and spam message properly in case there
are no confirmation from them on your in box.

Note, Great, just proceed with a cash of extra money made available
for the agent pickup shipping fee to money Gram, ask for money Gram
transfer form and fill in the agent details and pay the cash and the
transaction will be process and receipt that confirm money sent will
be given back to you. so you forward that to paypal for their
attention.
Regards

glade you cough that, had a simuler experence they even had the paypal logo attached they wanted me to send money to a shipper and the funds+100 dollars for my troubles would be released after that. i got ahold of paypal before i did anything and sure enuff it was a scam! i emailed everything to paypal that was sent to me, but they could not do anything becouse it came from over seas.good to see neither one of us took the bait

you can tell easily that their grammar/flow of the sentence is not "American" even when they try to throw in a few "isms".
