I just received the following message, I read the other similar messages and I suspect it’s a scam.

“I acknowledge receipt of your response and I agree to the purchase, but before I want to tell you that I am currently out of the country for professional reasons.

I am ready to send you the money to reserve the item for me as I will return in 3 weeks.
Regarding the pickup, as soon as I arrive, I will come to your home address.

So if you agree with me, let me know because for the payment
I will make an instant cash transfer as soon as I do it and send you the references so you can cash it at your nearest post office in cash.

To reserve it for me, I need:

- your complete address
- full name.
- home and mobile number.
- last price to ensure I don't make a mistake at the post office
But I am counting on your good faith since you will have the money well before the pickup.

Best regards
Mr. ROBERTS TRUCHON
I can be reached at 00225 09 91 64 85”

The solution I propose is:
1) block the sender so I don't receive any more emails
2) delete the message
3) inform the police.

First of all, HELLO, it's always nice
then, the gendarmerie cannot investigate or intervene with scammers deep in Africa.
no need to bother them, they have other things to do (unfortunately)

I just received exactly the same message following an ad I posted online. The person who contacted me is Chevron Claire. Be careful with emails coming from this person; it's a scam.

Like you all, I just received a message of this kind, I am attaching a copy,
Good evening
I acknowledge your email, OK no problem. I saw it on the
website, yes I agree to the purchase but first I want to tell you
that I am French from PONT-L'ABÉE (29) and I am currently
abroad for work reasons.
I am ready to send you the money to reserve the
item because we are returning to
FRANCE in 2 to 3 weeks and
we will come to your address to pick up the offer if you
agree with us, let me know because for the
payment I will send you a cash transfer that you will receive at the
post office near you in cash to reserve the offer for us.

I need:
- Your complete address.
- Full name.
- Mobile and landline number.
- Final price.

Best regards, Mr. Franck LABIEAN
