We are doing business, exchanging electronic currencies such as paypal (www.paypal.com) and e-gold (www.e-gold.com). We have lots of customers asked us to accept paypal as payment. However we need a USA paypal account to use it without restrictions. Since we located in Belgium, we cant withdraw the funds out of paypal account (just pay using it). If you have the paypal account we can use to recieve the transfers from our customer, or if you can open a brand new paypal account, we can do a part time business and will pay you 5% from every transfer you will recieve (transfers won't be less than $1000). Then you will need to exchange the funds into e-gold. This is a temporary business, because we will soon open our own bank account in USA to use with paypal. However now we need some quick solution. Just let us know if you interested and be able to do what we need and we can discuss the details.

I was just wondering if this is a familiar scam. I wish I could do a reverse scam on them!

People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Scam.

Paypal works great for transactions between countries, it just costs you an extra ~1%. Obviously paying 5% to avoid that would be silly.

When you use paypal to accept payments for merchandise they'll charge your account back if you can't provide proof of postage and delivery (probably among other things).

Scammers send money to you via paypal for a shipment, you send money via E-gold, some one claims non-receipt, there is no tracking number, and a hold gets placed on that amount of money in your account until the dispute is resolved which it never will be...
