Nigerian Email Scam (Help)

[KalebKongable]

hello I bought the print label and gave him the tracking number, then right after, I refunded the shipping saying It was fake and fraud and voided it. blocked him on everything, he never sent me any money.  I did however give him my email to paypal to find me, that's it.  What do I need to do?  I did not ship the item.

Thats fine, if you did not ship the item then ignore any emails and he will move on to the next possible victim.

Okay thanks, so if the item does get shipped then it just basically means you lose your item correct?

Yes, this scam has been ongoing for 10 years at least, no part of the transaction is done using Paypals site.

They rely on 'spoof / fake' emails that tell you to do things that Paypal would never do.................

Paypal NEVER tell you to send an item before the payment is showing in your paypal account.
Paypal do not tell you to send trackable, they advise it for selling protection but it is not compulsory.
Paypal NEVER expect you to use a rival money transfer service eg Moneygram or Western Union etc.
