My friend got scammed and send the package to nigeria and also send the tracking number. Is he's family in danger if his address is on the sender address. He doesn't care about the item just his family's safety. ( UPS is trying their best to send back the item before hitting the address. They said if Nigeria calls the UPS nigeria might send it back with additional charge) . Please help my friend

Good grief, are all Americans this paranoid about safety??

This scam has been going for years and the idea is to get free goods.

Paypal tell you to NEVER send anything until the funds are showing in your paypal account balance.

Why on earth would your friends family be in danger?? Is he going to fly over from Nigeria to ask for a refund !!!

No to go by their house if they know anyone in the area

Why??

They could go by anyones house, why would they need to go by a house of someone that sent a parcel to them?? What would be the point.

Sorry but the whole thing is totally ridiculous.

Thousands have been taken in my this scam, do you think the whole of Nigeria is flying over or sending someone to go to the house of the people that have been scammed for what reason ???

You are living in paranoia-land.
