Colissimo Postman Courier Insurance Sales Payment Scam

I almost fell victim to the Colissimo Postman scam. A lady wanted to buy my dresser and said a courier would arrive at my home and pay me cash and then take it. But, I have never heard of Colissimo.

After taking my address details she said I had to pay £85 for insurance but she would add this to the money I would receive by transfer, but before she told me I would be paid in cash.

I was sent an email that I could not open and told if i didn't do as instructed, she would lose money as Colissimo would not refund her money. She kept contacting me every 5 minutes begging me to do as she instructed. But, I know it is a scam and I hope no one turns up on my doorstep as they have my address.

I hope no one falls for this scam.
