I just completed the transaction from my PayPal account into your Bank account and i expect PayPal to have emailed by now, check Inbox, Junk or the Spam folder of your email address if you have been messaged yet,i sent $3,750.00 in all, PayPal said they would be holding the funds because of the excess payments of $1,200.00 added meant for pick up of the item and due to the fact that emailed them about the excess payment i made, until they get the western union information from you, i will need you to send the $1,200.00 to my pick up agent Headquarters via western union money transfer,online transfer (this can be done from the post office, as they usually have a western union agent there),i added extra $100 to cover the western union charges which shouldn't be more that $80-100 but just to be sure i added $100..... Here is my pick up agent Headquarter info needed to get
the money sent through western union money transfer:

Name: JINLING ZHANG
Address: Jiangxi Gongzi.jintai lu
City : Ji"an
State : Jiangxi
Zip code : 343900

Please kindly email the necessary details to PayPal :the MTCN which you will be given at the western union after the $1,200.00 has been sent as well as the sender's name and address used to send the money through western union as well as the secret question and answer used in sending the $1,200.00 so i can forward it to PayPal or better still you can email it to PayPal directly,that is fine with me as well for the money i sent to be credited into your account after they might have receive the information they needed to release the whole money in your account. I will need your address where the item will be picked up,and my pickup agent will contact you after they have received the payments in order to book a time for the pick up thanks for your cooperation.

God Bless

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.

Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
