My first E-mail and Cinna's reply:
Dear Cinna Carr,
I have removed my ad on Craigslist. I do not have a PayPal account.
Is there any way your pickup agent can pay cash when he picks up the
item?
(Clipped)
Thanks for your mail. Am satisfied with your advert price, as am
requesting this transaction should be done via PayPal so the Pay Pal
charges is on me. If my offer is accepted, Get back to me with your
PayPal email and your name or send me PayPal invoice so i can pay you
right away as soon as i conclude with my pickup agent. I am always
busy at work and do not have much time around me to make or answer
calls. Make sure you get back to me so that we can arrange for pick up
as i will like the item to be picked at your residence location.
Confirm the sales to me by removing it from the CL post.
Regards
Cinna Carr

Having concluded all arrangement with the shipper and got a message
from headquarters of the shipping company that will come for the
pickup for at your place here in united states, that i need to pay a
total commission of about $550 to them before the pickup can be
registered and it should be paid via western union only and there is
no western union outlet at my present location to send the money to
them over here as I'm at the military base.This is to notify you that
I will be transferring your money shortly. I will also be adding the
shippers money to the total amount I am sending. So, I implore you to
proceed to any Western Union Money Transfer outlet and have the excess
funds transferred to the shipper's information asap via Western Union
Money Transfer and get back to paypal via email with the transfer
details so that paypal can complete the full processing of your money
into your account after all transaction data (Western Union Money
Transfer details) is confirmed by paypal. As an added security
measure, paypal will also confirm my shipper's identity to you on the
payment confirmation page that you will receive in your paypal email
address as soon as I have your money Transferred.
Regards
After opening a Paypal account I send my details and get a pretty official looking E-mail from verified_payment@easy.com.
