1st mail

Thanks for getting back to me and i appreciate your prompt reply..I am
presently out of town now but i am buying this for my Daughter Who
live in Russia and i will like to make the payment for this via Paypal
and also my mover will come for the pick-up...So kindly send me your
Paypal account ID and i will send the Payment for this item instantly
and once the money clears in your account ,my mover will come for the
pick-up.if you don't have a PayPal account yet, you can set one at:www
paypal.com cant take you less than 3mins to do that, i will be expecting your
PayPal email so l can pay and also get back to me with your best price
on this. I will be waiting.
I am suspicious and have a bad feeling about this, but can't see how the scam works (assuming it is a scam). Unusual gift for your daughter? I don't think mine would be too thrilled if I gave her a jet unit..
I replied that I didn't want to use Paypal and asked why they couldn't just transfer the money from his Paypal to my regular account

Aha, the G word. I am now convinced this is a scam but still can't figure out how it works?
I reiterated that I didn't want to use Paypal and suggested he wire the money to my regular account.

I have suggested they send the money to their mover and he can pay me cash when he collects. Nothing heard since.
If it is a scam, how does it work?
