Report Message (I reported this msg to facebook; what are their procedures for this?)
Dear Seller, respond to this email address tambojames2@yahoo.com
How much for the asking price of the item. and I'll be using this opportunity to let you understand that you'll be receiving the payment in mode of check from my client and the amount you'll be receiving will be more than the item fees. Payment will be sent to you immediately Like i told you i'm purchasing on behalf of my client and the excess payment is my own commission with the money i'll need to pay for our shipping company. So i want you to promise me that you are so honest to deduct just the amount for the item and send the excess money through WESTERNUNION as soon as you receive the payment from my client. The payment will be sent immediately you agree with me to deduct just the amount for the item and send the balance through any WESTERNUNION OFFICE well known to you and you'll be receiving it the next day.
There won't be any problem about the shippment. I'll be handling that with my DHL# so i want you to get back to me asap now with your full mailing information. Email me your full name, address and phone# now if you agree and assure me that you'll deduct just the amount for the item and send the balance through WESTERNUNION so that the payment can be sent immediately.
NOTICE
I will prefer to proceed with this transaction with my yahoo email box which is tambojames2@yahoo.com
Also want you to go and remove the item form the fecabook list i will add $10 dollars for doing that
Below are the questions i have for you.
1)Is the item in good condition?
2)Is any WESTERNUNION location where you can send the balance money arround you?
3)Can you make sure you get the payment cashed at your bank the sameday you receive it?
4)Can you allow me to send DHL for the pick up and complete the transaction the day you receive the
check?
5)Can you promise me that you'll only deduct your item fees from the payment and westernunion the balance money the day you receive the payment?
If yes to all my questions, kindly email me back your full name, address and mobile# asap today
Thanks,
Note: You won't be responsible for westernunion charges. You have to deduct the westernunion charges from the payment.
Send me a mail to this box and give me the details concerning the item
I will be waiting for your mail at tambojames2@yahoo.com
Spamming for Scam (smell like bullshit):
1. Why would someone ask what the asking price is when its clearly listed?
2. " my client", "shipping company" ... duh! these are tickest for a LOCAL EVENT
3. western union w/ promises to pay MORE, this always smells fishy
4. once again, the scammer asks if my tickets are "in good condition" (thats hilarious!)
Please DO NOT get fooled by these idiots. They could at least try a bit harder if they wish to be successful.

I got two similar messages on an item I am selling.
Sounds good. I will inform my debtor in the United States to issue out the payment to you to the tune of the amount he owes me.
All you need do as soon as you receive the payment from my debtor is to deduct the cost of your item and get the excess fund on the payment send via Western Union to my shipper's company so that they can come for the picking up of the item from you in your location
I will give you an extra $40 on the cost of your item which will serve as an inconvience fees for helping me send the excess money to the shipper's the same day you receive the package containing the payment.
Please confirm your name and address as well as a telephone number as soon as possible if you are ready and willing to continue with this transaction so that I can inform my debtor to issue out the payment in your name in time.
I await your reply.
I can't see how people fall for these crap. In theory I thought about going through with it... and awaiting for his package... and seeing what iut actually contains... but I am concerned it can be anthrax!!! JAJAJA
Two differnt people have tired to get me. Someone needs to warn people about this here is a message I got just today looks just like one thats already on here:

I got the same scam message from joeg70@gmail.com - BEWARE- I actually responded.
What a coincidence: i got the EXACT same message from James Scott!
Funny thing is: the ad was for a bunny rabbit.
haha this same thing happened to me from james scott. My tickets were for a college bowl game and he said he wanted them. I agreed to give them to him. However, he never got back to me with his address. almost 2 months later he got back to me saying his wife was really sick and he hasnt had time to respond but he would still like the tickets. UMM WOW. the tickets have already been used. Def a scam.
Got one from James Scott too, glad I did some research before falling for this...
