Okay fine, I have inform the removalist that you will be repairing my aluminum diamond plate dog crate.....they will be coming with the cage you will repair the hinge and door lock.so i want you advice the best day you can carry out the job so i can arrange with them to move in my belongings that day with cage that will be dropped in your workshop..
Also I would be grateful if I can have this favor from you cos i have not paid the removalist bringing in my furniture and the diamond plate dog crate due to that they did not have credit card facilities for payment and due to my present condition beyond my reasonable control I wont be convenient for me to pay via other method that is why i want you to assist me.I would like you to add an extra $2500.00 to amount $500 i will make for deposit so that you can have all the sum charged on my credit card and you will have the $2500.00 send to the to Removalist for them to be able to move the diamond plate dog crate to your workshop. After meeting with them on you can do proper inspection on how you will get the proper measurement size and shape and height so you will be able to construct the 2 new diamond plate dog crate.
I so much wish to pay them directly but I am at the hospital right now and will undergo a surgery soon for my hear disabilities and I will want the cage ready for my business before I am discharge..
If you will agree to carry on with job I can email you my card details and also the Removals company details so you can agree on a date. I hope you well understand me by putting my condition into consideration and I am sorry if however it cause you inconvenience.

Attn: Sir,
I believe that your present apprehensions is as a result of the popular Internet scam reports you read or you were told or from your own personal experience. I must reiterate however that you must not swallow hook, line and sinker all that you have read or been told because there are reasons behind them, which will never be made known to you, albeit, this does not rule out the existence of scams. I am aware of these INTERNET scams perpetrated by evil minded people mainly from Africa. The issue of scam is one issue you and I must relegate to the background if we ever wish to work together as partners. I do not know how these scammers work out their modalities to steal from their victims but as a person in the banking industry I know that this bad people tend to be privy of some salient information and use their knowledge of this real and existing scenario of what a genuine transaction would present to assemble up stories that would make their victims to fall prey. All I can say to you at this juncture is for you to be careful. I am not an Africa and I will never be a scammer, though I understand that there is scam everywhere. What do I stand to gain to steal from you? I am not a hungry person and do not need to steal money from someone else to feed. I am gainfully employed and I am very sound academically. I am well endowed in all ramification and do not need to tell a lie or steal to survive. I give God the glory for that. I am a true and practicing Christian and I hardly can stand and tell a lie. I love my family so very much and will not get myself involved in anything that would fail thereby jeopardizing their interest. Please take note. The whole money in the world would not make me to do anything that would put my family at risk.
My dear, the truth is that many people remain poor in life today by virtue of their ignorance of certain privileged information. This transaction information Mrs. Liliane Bettencourt have shared with you is real and nothing could be truer. You may choose to agree or disagree with the principles of the transaction, but I know fully that success is a sure course because I have gotten everything well planned out with the help of my attorney and all that is required for the process to be consummated is a partner in your capacity. A lot of people are ignorant of the above information and have unwittingly blown several privilege opportunities that have come their way because they lose to leave the veil over their face. Remember, the nature of my mail to you and the sensitive situation my family is in and I would not want to jeopardize your own interest as well since I do not know whom you have been talking to. Please I ask once again that you keep your knowledge of the funds and the existence of this transaction strictly private until we have taken full possession of the funds.
I think that your problem is that of fear, an almost all-consuming fear of the unknown, you are not so sure, you are afraid that something might go wrong and that this transaction might not be consummated or something of the sort, although I have given you assurances. In life, dreams and fears go hand in hand, so it is not out of place for you to be afraid. Even the most courageous men on earth have their own fears, but courage means being able to perform in the midst of your fear. It is said that an individual cannot discover new ocean until he has the courage to lose sight of the shores.
I advise you to be courageous in this transaction and and go ahead with this transaction. Everything will work out very well to our ultimate mutual advantage. Do not fear or despair, as our transaction has no bearing or any relation with scam, we presently have found ourselves (people of great hope and aspiration) in the most trying times where because of simple doubts, little minds in our heads tend to spite us, but there is a dawn of hope for me because I have toiled all night, I can not give in to human dissuasion, history has a place for minds of steel. When they first manufactured golf balls, they made the cover smooth. Then it was discovered that after a ball had been roughened up one could get more distance out of it. So they started manufacturing them with dimpled covers. So it is with life, it takes some rough spots in your life to make you go your farthest. Trust and believe in me and let us move on in securing this transaction. I give you my word and my word is my bond; I shall never depart from it. I am a Christian and I loathe swearing, but I will swear here; let the air I breathe, the water I drink and the food I eat go against me should I cause you any harm or fail you.
Acknowledge the receipt
Sincerely,
Yours in service,
Bryan D. Ellis

Hello ,
Thanks for the total quote of my order.The total cost of my order is quite correct and okay by me and I'm ready to pay the bills . I shall inform my freight forwarder who will be coming to pick up the order to hold on and come immediately you inform me that the items are ready for pick up then i can give you a call on that day to get the items packed for pick up and they will call you on their arrival at your address.Also I want you to help me Charge another $1,000.00 from my card for the freight forwarder who will be coming to pick up my ordered items from you.
The $1,000.00 that will be sent to the freight forwarder is for the shipping of my order and other items i ordered from different part of the country which is to be picked up by him and should be deducted from my credit card.Also, I'm compensating you with the sum of $100.00 for the transfer fee and for your efforts. Please note that i should have given the shipping agency my credit card for him to deduct the freight charges but he told me that he doesn't have the facilities to charge or debit credit card , so that's why i bring my vote of confidence in you and i want you to assist me in this measure, so i want you to transfer the funds to him after you have make the charges and the money charged from my credit card is in your account,then you can now make the transfer to the agent via western union or you can send them a check if possible..i will have love to do this my self but there are no western union here around me cos i am out of town to monitor my estate construction at a remote village,So the charges you'll make on my credit card will be:
Order Fee: $1,100
Agent fee: $1,000.00
Transfer Fee with shipping fare : $100.00
Total: $2,200
Note that my credit card will be charged for the amounts above.
Please do get back to me if you are in the office right now so that i can forward my credit card details to you, then you can charge the funds

Luckily they did not discover where i kept my fathers File which contains important documents. So I decided to run to the refugee camp where i am presently seeking asylum under the United Nations High Commission for the Refugee here in Ouagadougou, Republic of Burkina Faso.
One faithful morning, I opened my father's briefcase and found out the documents which he has deposited huge amount of money in bank in Burkina Faso with my name as the next of kin. I travelled to Burkina Faso to withdraw the money for a better life so that I can take care of myself and start a new life, on my arrival, the Bank Director whom I met in person told me that my father's instruction/will to the bank is that the money would only be release to me when I am married or present a trustee who will help me and invest the money overseas. I am in search of an honest and reliable person who will help me and stand as my trustee so that I will present him to the Bank for transfer of the money to his bank account overseas. I have chosen to contact you after my prayers and I believe that you will not betray my trust. But rather take me as your own sister.
Although, you may wonder why I am so soon revealing myself to you without knowing you, well I will say that my mind convince me that you may be the true person to help me. More so, my father of blessed memory deposited the sum of ($8,500.000.00 USD) Dollars in Bank with my name as the next of kin. However, I shall forward you with the necessary documents on confirmation of your acceptance to assist me for the transfer and statement of the fund in your country. As you will help me in an investment, and i will like to complete my studies, as i was in my 1year in the university when my beloved father died. It is my intention to compensate you with 30% of the total money for your services and the balance shall be my capital in your establishment. As soon as I receive your positive response showing your interest I will put things into action immediately. In the light of the above. I shall appreciate an urgent message on (ckipkalya @ yahoo.fr) indicating your ability and willingness to handle this transaction sincerely.
AWAITING YOUR URGENT AND POSITIVE RESPONSE, Please do keep this only to your self for now un till the bank will transfer the fund. I beg you not to disclose it till i come over because I am afraid of my wicked stepmother who has threatened to kill me and have the money alone. I thank God Today that am out from my country (KENYA) but now In (Burkina Faso) where my father deposited the money with my name as the next of Kin. I have the documents for the claim. Please contact me here ckipkalya @ yahoo.fr
Yours Sincerely, Miss.Cynthia

Why we need Payment Protection Agents
When buying-selling operations via the Internet are concerned, the buyer and the seller do not know each other and are placed in different parts of the world. Therefore, it is important both to the buyer and the seller that their transaction is made safely. Payment Protection implies receiving funds regarding the transaction by a reliable, experienced, impartial person - our Payment Protection Agent, who will hold the funds until all the terms of the deal are satisfied and only then release them to the intended receiver.
By having a Payment Protection Agent in every country we can quickly transfer funds inside a country without wasting time on the international bank transfers and continue our rapid growth rather than overwhelming our own bank account with inbound and outbound transactions leading to severe hold times and possible service interruption. It is time that is of significant importance to our clients.
The main task of a Payment Protection Agent is receiving payment transactions from our clients to any bank account he/she would like to use for the purposes of this job; and then forwarding these transactions to the next party of the process according to our instructions. A Payment Protection Agent normally process approximately 2-3 transactions per week.
