Those are some seriously wordy emails from "PayPal". Remove a couple commas and it's basically the same over-explaining that he is doing. I bet he has a hand in writing them...

Its 200 miles away... but its tempting.
Maybe there’s a member here willing to play that part? What town is it?

Great job! This was actually a really fun read, please keep updating us on how the situation plays out!
Unfortunately there are a large number of scammers in this business, so it's always nice when someone gets the upper hand on them.

Long shot then, I suppose. I mean, I’m in north London but that’s a bit of a trek for a giggle, and the chances of him even opening the package in view is slim.

UPDATE FROM TERRY AND PAYPAL -

Terry:

the time i deposited funds to your account,you will need to include the proof of postage, sometime like the shipment tracking number or the postage receipt and once paypal receive the proof of postage from you, they will release the funds to your account and complete the transaction then you will be able to withdraw the money from your paypal account to your paypal account and you are going to send me the postage receipt too..

Thanks & Regards Forward It To My Paypal Now and Send Me The Postage Receipt Now..

PayPal:



It seems I might have a wait for the funds to arrive... But we all knew that anyway!

Paypal's grammar is terrible. 🙄

Chances are... when the package arrives, he will open it at the actual address or take the package elsewhere or have a forwarding address and the chance of seeing him open it is not going to happen.

“You are now mandated to ship the merchandise to the buyer’s confirmed address...”

Fake PayPal is soooo bossy these days!

It would be nice to have a police officer deliver the package for you. Maybe they can drop off the rock and pick up a turd...

UPDATE:

Me:

Still no funds Terry.

You said it would be released on sending the tracking.


Terry:

Yes but i ant you to know that you are going to receive your money in the next 24 hours so that will be tomorrow so all i want you to do now is to send me the pictures of the item of you have it just to see it in full so that is why thanks

Me:

The photos are on the eBay advert...

I can’t send any more photos than I already have as the watch has shipped and I don’t have it.


So...

it appears as soon as I send more photos, they release funds...
