This was a follow-up email to a very real looking paypal payment confirmation email. Didn't notice the email spoof until i read this email even though i was 99% skeptical about the transaction, it said $300 + $250 for shipping and handling to send a computer i have for sale to the UK.
This coming just a week after somebody sent me a $3,000 100% stolen check wanting me to cash it, deduct money for a computer and then give their "movers" the change lol (craigslist)
