Came across this on the GTi-R OC club forums. Never ceases to amaze me what lengths these 'Nigerian' style scammers will do to get your money.

"Decided to put my pulsar on ebay to see what the interest was, the auction runs out tomorrow at 1. I've had tons of messages and offers so when a woman called "Kerri Lippet" message me today asking how much I'd take she said she wanted to buy it now as a gift for her boyfriend. Fair enough she wanted to deal through paypal. I sent a request to her account for the funds to be transferred as she asked. What I got back was a "genuine" email from paypal. It looks identical when compared against other emails from them telling me that the money I asked for has been sent plus £1000 extra?
It then goes on to say that the funds are being held by paypal until (and i am not kidding when I say this) I pay the extra £1000 through a Nigerian money transfer firm called "Weston Union" who will in turn send someone to collect it and ship it back to Nigeria to a bloke called "Funsho James" who lives in a place called Ile Ife, Osun State, Ngeria. You could not make this up, he lives at 2 candy road!! What are these people on?"
