I received this email last week and responded briefly to determine if he had any clue I am in Australia. I too have that whole "too good to be true" vibe and this isn't the first time I've received one of these emails - both were people at sea, both wanted to make PayPal payments and both had an agent who would pick up "the item". Thank you for your blog, I wasn't sure how they were making the scam work with PayPal but you have cleared it up for me. I hope you can add this scumbag to your list!!
Thanks again
