After talking to them further.
I have baited them to send me an email, and their I.P. address is:
I think that they have hi-jacked someone's PayPal account,
and want to suck it dry.
pbestsellers@yahoo.com Bestsellers: when u give me ur paypal account id
pbestsellers@yahoo.com Bestsellers: i will send money to u there
pbestsellers@yahoo.com Bestsellers: i may send u 3000usd and u can keep 1800usd and send me balance
pbestsellers@yahoo.com Bestsellers: and send me the balance ok
If this was their PayPal account, why would I need to send them the balance?
All along I have zero plans to receive this money, because as soon
as the person finds out, they will have the funds frozen, and PayPal
will immediately freeze my account, and I will be responsible for
these funds.
This is a heads up, be careful!
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
This time, I've gotten their IP address, and baited them into thinking
I will give them my PayPal account.

If you want to bait them too, tell them you want to order more Ipod's,
and to send you an email with the information they need from you.
I bet it's the same scammers working with Jonathan Aaron Mensah.
Once you receive an email, check the headers and locate the IP,
and go to this site:
http://www.ip-adress.com
Now, to report this to Yahoo to get their emails shut down,
as well as the authorities in charge, Nigeria won't do much,
but hopefully Hong Kong and your local authorities might.
He later admitted the PayPal account is "his clients", and he wants
to send me $3000, I can keep $1800, and send him the rest.
These guys think I'll fall for their tactics twice, some poor innocent soul
is going to lose a lot of money from their PayPal account as soon as
they get the PayPal ID.
be careful when they try this on you.
