Overpayment scam.
I'm selling furniture/ got a 'want it' within the hour.
received a SMS to contact her via 'her' email account.
as she's supposedly only on satellite internet.

Works for: "New Zealand Oil and Gas (NZOG)"
Working currently offshore: New Zealand Taranaki Basin
on Satellite internet
no return cellphone number listed.
Wants to buy at full price and an agent will pick up and deliver the her house in Darwin

Needed my BSB and acc number to transfer money/ did inform her I don't have a PayPal Acc.
Got 2 follow up emails to ask me what's happening as her PayPal account has paid out, and I'm holding everything up.
I need to pay the Transport Agent a.s.a.p. in order for me to get my money. (that's when I checked scams)

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. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. 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.
