I recieved a questionable email from a "Lisa Bennet" at [email protected] with the following messages listed below.

At this point i felt suspicious. When I googled the email address with the word scam, this website came up with a list of nearly identical emails.
I stopped communication with her immediately.
Thank you Scambook!!!



Thanks you so much. I have forwarded the address to the shipping company so they can calculate the pick up and delivery cost for me to make the payment. I'm sure they will contact you soon after i make the payment. I would like you to know that the payment will be made via PayPal, All you have to send me is your PayPal email address so I can make the payment immediately. Also I will be including the pick up cost with the total payment which is $300 so you will help me send it to the shipping company via Western union money transfer as soon as you receive the payment from PayPal. I would have done it myself but I'm an handicapped and am at home and the only method of payment they accept is this,i cant walk and that's why i ask for this help.Note i will also send addition of $50.00 USD as western union charges,i am a little incapacitated.....I will appreciate your help
God Bless You,
Regards
