Hey i've seen that you give a lot of help, I was wondering if you could help me. So I listed an iPad 2 32GB with Flappy Bird installed. A guy send me a message on ebay saying that he will pay me $4,500 for it and to send him a paypal Invoice. I did and I got an email from paypal saying that I have funds in my account. the email is sendreference4fundclearance(dot)ppal(at)mail(dot)ie . Is this a legit Email? Please help because im gonna ship tommorow and I Don't want to get scammed but would like $4,500 to help out my family and myself. The guy lives in Nigeria and the iPad is a present for his son's birthday.

Your lucky i am a day off from work today and logged on early.

THIS IS A SCAM.

You will get/got a "fake" email that looks as though it is from paypal.....it isn't.

It will say the buyer has paid ...you won't have been paid.

They will tell you that the payment is released when you provide paypal with a tracking/shipping number......this won't happen.

They threaten legal action...have a laugh at that one and ignore it as its rubbish.

Most scams originate from Nigeria and people there cannot even own a paypal account.

Paypal NEVER tell you to send trackable, they advise it for seller protection etc but it is not compulsory.

Paypal NEVER tell you to send an item before the payment is showing in your paypal account.

Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.
