    I just want to inform you that i have completed the payment through Paypal,the sum of $815.00 has been deducted from my Account and i believed you have got the confirmation of my Payment in your PayPal email mail InBox/Spam,and i'll want the package to be sent now to my Client though USPS express mail cos I have added to the Shipping cost for posting to Nigeria.So i want you to ship out the item today and send the Tracking Number to Paypal Members Team Department.

    Here is Receiver's Address Below :
    Name :Lekan Owolabi
    Address:No1 Owolabi st sapon,,
    City:Abeokuta State: Ogun-State
    Country:Nigeria
    Zip code:110001..

    I want the package to be sent by USPS Express Mail Service Flat Rate (EMS) (3-5) business day only because its very cheap,secure and reliable,I will be waiting for the tracking number.I will like to do more business with you after you have completed this transaction by Shipping out the item.
    Thanks hope to read back from you soon with the tracking number once the item as been ship out today.

    My response to this asshole:

    The FBI is currently undergoing an investigation of foreign scams on American citizens. You may think that you are intelligent, and you can scam hard-working Americans, but you cannot. I now have your address and IP address through gmail's tracking interface, and you will be put in jail soon enough. I hope you were "intelligent" enough to place these email messages through a computer outside of your home, but it doesn't matter either way. You're going to be punished to the full extent of United States law. You may think that you can escape because you are outside of the country, but you are wrong. We are coming to find you.

    Goodbye.

    details to them so they can verify and credit your account immediately you get back to them with the western union details. Kindly get the
    money send to the pick up agent asap.
