Paypal scammer

I had items on gumtree Australia when i was contacted by someone calling themselves Mrs Rose Adkins. The email they used was tolfre5@gmail.com. She said she was a serious buyer & maintained constant emails contact. She was asking me to use paypal only & when i suggested Western Union she declined (obvious why now )I was wondering why they would pay so much & pay the taxes when they could get it cheaper there. I got everything ready for sending until the guy there told me of some people who had been scammed recently.I went away thinking maybe i had been too I then received an email from paypal that didnt look right & have since found out it wasnt from them. I didnt ship the goods thanks god but if you get this kind of request beware!!!!Tis is the fake email they sent so keep a look out & notice the email address
