He is out of town, can only use paypal and will send a \"specialized\" moving company to pick the item up. He wanted more pictures, and then finally sent an email notifying me that I should be receiving a paypal confirmation of his payment shortly, he included extra money so that I could pay his agent, and gave me this address:
Kelly Williams 770 Ferrells Bridge Rd Louisburg, NC 27549
He also stated that he has notified paypal of the procedures so that there is no problem. |

Same here...he was out of town, buying sight unseen and had "specialized" movers to come get out furniture. Didn't trust the poor English so I googled his email address and found this! He won't be buying from me!!!
Scam EmailHello,
Thanks for your time. I don\'t have the chance to come and view it
because am currently out of town at the moment due to the nature of my
job.I\'m buying this for someone as a replacement,and can you by any
chance send close up photos? as it will help in my decision since i
will be buying sight unseen.Payment will be made via PayPal only as
PayPal is my only payment option i can access here(if you don\'t have a
PayPal account yet, it pretty easy to set up and it very secured. All
you have to do is to log on to (paypal.com) it can\"t take you less
than 3 mins to do that. Since I\'m requesting this transaction to be
done via PayPal, all the charges is on me and i have a specialized
mover that will come pick it up once payment clears. I hope we can
make the purchase as fast as possible?
Thank you,
Mike.

This individual contacted me with the same story responding to my ad on CL (out of town, paypal only, will be buying sight unseen and has a specialized mover). Checked his email out and found this page...will not be doing business with him
