This is his pitch:
Due to my present location, my choices are limited and not often
available by the phone. I am an honorable man and you will receive
your money cash in hand before this is picked up. However, it’s easy
and free to open a paypal account. Just go to there website
http://www.paypal.com and sign up a personal account there. Paypal is the
world leading payment master that protects both buyer/seller interest.
You are on a secured transaction with paypal. Above all, it’s like
instant cash. As soon as you open an account, get back to me with the
name and email that you linked with your paypal account and I will
have your money sent asap. And due to the nature of my job and having
being a paypal customer for the past 18 months with no charge back, I
feel more comfortable sending my funds via paypal due to there various
security measures at ensuring safe and secured transaction between
both buyer/seller. But, if you feel otherwise, I totally understand.
