Dear **my full name**,

It is important we know the status of the money you are requested to send to the buyer's address in other for us to contact PayPal Singapore about the Mistake we made in the Payment sent to your account. otherwise, legal action may be taken against you since you refused to refund the Money back to through Western Union Money Transfer.

We believed you entered into agreement by confirming the payment made to you by your buyer through PayPal, and by non response to the Money you are requested to send you have violate the Rule and PayPal agreement. However the buyer has already contacted us in other to make report about your non response.We are ensuring to make PayPal a safer place, therefore we need to set confidence on our users.

We request for the valid info of the Money transfer to prove to us that you have send the money or you face the consequences of LEGAL ACTION.

We want you to know that this message is originated from PayPal and this is not a scam,it just a new measure of protecting the both parties involved in this transaction.

Once you get the Money sent you will need to contact the buyer with the info used in sending the money.

As soon as you send the Money and the buyer get back to us with the prove,then we contact PayPal Singapore about this.

We give you another 24hours to send the money or you face the consequences of LEGAL ACTION.

This is done in other to protect both the seller and buyer.

By this time, I have already called Paypal via the hotline provided in their website. Paypal had confirmed with me that the emails were phishing emails. Furthermore, how can there by any involvement of the accounting department when the transferring of the funds are supposed to be automatic and immediate when using Paypal??!! Of course, I ignored all the scammers' emails, but May Bishop was a persistent scammer who was still flooding my email inbox when I have already told her that I am aware of her scam. Even if she was a real buyer, I did tell her to contact Paypal and report the phishing emails she was getting also. She didn't hid my advise and thus, I can confirm that she was involved in the scam also. By this time, the fake 'Paypal' did not send me any more emails.

send the money,this is a legit transaction...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please do forward this to your friends and let everyone be aware of who are the ones involved in cheating people. I think reporting all of their names out will help us all in a way. Let us all save ourselves from them.

I am really fortunate that I did not send any money to them via the Western Union transfer. My camera was so old that I did not bother to try to get the package back. It is not worth the effort and money to do so.
