Like the others, he responded to my ad selling a table and chairs. 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.
Follow Ups/Extra Information. Most recent is listed first.
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!!!

Hello, 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

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.
