s per the e-mail PayPal sent to me which is also similar to yours, you will have to pay an upfront payment of $1,000 out of your pocket via western union office at your post office to the address given to you, and you will be given the information requested which you will e-mail to paypal by replying to the confirmation mail sent from them regarding the details you have from western union...and you will receive the whole money in your account without any delay,I want you to know that the Payment cannot be canceled neither can the payment be stopped so you have all security OK,kindly read the mail sent to you very well.The money will only reflect in your account until you reply back to the confirmation email you received from paypal by sending the mtcn number of the $1000 that is to be send to my pick up agent so that they can come for the pick up..if you have gone through the email you received from paypal very well regarding the payment i made...you must have been notify about all this.Hope to read from you asap..

Is this a scam
