Hi ,
Thanks for the swift response, just to let you know that am okay with the condition and price of the item, am ready for its purchase and my form of payment will be by PayPal.I would have really love to come for the viewing but due to my work frame that might not be possible as am on work inspection to Mexico at the moment and I do not have access to a phone here,but if you have more pictures, might want to have a good look.
I'll be responsible for the pick-up and the pick up money will be included in your payment to avoid delay and to enable pick up company to schedule an appropriate time for the pick-up at your location after funds has been received as I have other properties to be moved alongside with yours.
All I will need is your PayPal email address to make the payment and I will send the money as a gift so you'll not be charged by PayPal and then I will make arrangement for pick up.I will be expecting your email.
########################
I have just made the payments now and i expect PayPal to have emailed by now, i sent $1,500.00USD in all, To...... i added 500.00USD meant for pick up and delivery, they said they have emailed you to this effect, you will need to send the $500.00USD to my pick up agent via western union money transfer,so that PayPal can credit $1,500.00USD into your account,i added extra $50.00USD to cover the western union charges which shouldn't be more that $40-$50 as soon as you have emailed the western union details to them,Here is the pick up agent info needed to get the money sent through western union money transfer:
Reciever's name;Joe Kalu
13837 Jurmu Road
Baraga, Michigan 49908 US
I will need the details of the transfer once you have sent fund . . .
1.The MTCN number that is the 10 digits number on the Western Union receipt
2.Sender's name and address used in sending the money
3.Actual amount sent
Regards.
Thanks sooo much for this! Rec'd "verbatim" email. Gracias
BEWARE OF MIDE WAYLEX
I got an email from a Mide Waylex in regards to a craft item I was selling! Said she was out of town on her honeymoon & wanted to mail me a check ect proceeding us communicating back & forth I then recieved this email
Hello
How are you and how is your day? Hope everything if ok? .Well i will
like to tell you that you will receive the payment next week.But,
there is something i will like you to do for me. I just got married
last week, i leave in New York,but will be relocating to your city as
soon as i return from my honeymoon and will be going for my honeymoon
in Dubai somewhere in the Asia next week. I might not be around to
coordinate the pick up,and i will not want any delay from my side
regarding the pick up so ,i will be adding the shipping fund with you
money. As soon as you receive the payment,and get payment cashed.Then,
I will instruct my shipper to get in contact with you for the pick up
schedule time and date. so i will be sending the money to cover the
shipment of the item, . You will receive the payment of $2,876 As soon
as you have it, i will want you to deduct your money plus $100 for
your effort and send the balance to the shipper via western union or
money gram at any
walmart store around you, the shipper will be pick up some other items
for me in your city. I want to buy this item for our my own use as
soon as we return from Dubai. I hope i can count on you to do this for
me.
I will await your response asap, so that we can set the ball rolling"
I sent reply back that I would not do this or feel comfortable doing this & she proceeding to say the check was already on its way......so I will be turning all this over the the authorities.
So be ware of a Mide Waylex
