    Dear "Doctor" Evigan,

    1. You are trying to scam me.
    2.You are not honest, nor are you a god-fearing man.
    3.I have received absolutely no notification from a legitimate paypal email saying the transfer has occurred.
    4.Your poorly fabricated e-mail only served to make me more suspicious of you. (which I have been from the beginning.)
    5.You lied to me.
    6.You are not a "Doctor," as doctors have much better spelling and grammar.
    7.You attempted to make me out as the one who wished to scam you. (a very common tactic, and one that is easily seen through.)
    8.You offered me more than double what I was asking. (this is one of the first things which raised my suspicions.)
    9.You want me to send it to Nigeria, of all places, for your Grandson. (or is it your son? you seem to have slipped up a little in out dialogue.)
    10.YOU FAIL AT LIFE! (and scamming too.)

    This will be the last time I reply to one of your messages, unless you submit a legitimate and authentic fund transfer to my paypal account, and I recieve a LEGITIMATE email from Paypal. Oh, and HERE is the homepage of the "paypal" customer support. Mail2world is "the free email that has everyone talking!"

    Not that stupid,
    Andrew Graves

    The payment has been made and i have gotten a mail from paypal
    concerning the item. I believe paypal would have contacted you.
    Immediately you get the confirmation from a paypal, go and ship the
    item through the USPS Global Express Mail Service (EMS). Make sure you
    are given the shipment tracking number thats starts with (E).. Nice
    having business with you and this this the shipping address of my
    grandson below again.


    Name: Samson Ladipo
    Address:No 8 Sanada Street Molete
    City: Ibadan.
    State: Oyo State.
    Zip Code: 23402.
    Country: Nigeria

    Pls make sure its well packed with all the accessories ok..

    Thanks.

    Fucking Noobs...



    Fucker could have at least fabricated the fake e-mail right.


    Heres the text from the fake e-mails.

    Here is the site that he made the fake customer service e-mail address at.

    That's an old one. Some fuck from Romania tried to pull that one on me when I was selling my old snowboard a few years back.

    I heard you're not supposed to ship anything to Africa because they can report an item "not received" and their delivery system is so bad that they have no proof of delivered items and you have to refund them their money.

    Well, generally if they ask you to ship it to Africa, they dont intend to send you the money in the first place.

    Yeah, it would have made sense if you had just read like 2 more paragraphs...



    They were paragraphs too, it wasnt even a wall of text.


    Admittedly, I can see how it could be confusing (or stupid or nonsensical for some) as that list was the last time I replied to him.


    Not really my problem though.


    I think I'm just a bit too lit to give a fuck.

    So what were you trying to acheive by letting him know he tried to rip you off?

    I mean.. You don't have to tell him that he's ripping you off. He knows he's doing it.... For god sakes he is the one doing it.

    Just wondering lol.
