 What is going on with PayPal.

 

I've been reporting a Nigerian Scammer, etc and now my account is being held?

 

My ebay score is a perfect 100% since 1992 or something and numbers over 150.

My PayPal account is verified and all tranactions good.

 

I'm selling something on craigslist and now I'm getting emails from the scammer,

claims he sent me $7000 and wants me to telegram Western Unioni $1500 to him.

 

I've been reporting this all along and now I just got a hold notice placed on my accout.

 

How do you get off that?

 

I already have perfect ebay and perfect PayPal accounts.

I almost got scammed today when I posted a add on KSL.com in Utah to sell my wedding ring.  After doing research on the web, I found the email was a scammer from Nigeria hitting Craigs lists and many others.  The scammers name was Alice Cage and the email address came from   He told me he wanted to buy it for a friend and would give me $200 USD also to ship it.  He said he was in New Zealand on business and gave me a Nigerian address to ship it to..     SCAM   

This is a scam do not get suckered into it.  He wanted my paypal account and said he had one too and was very persistent.  You can not trust anyone even if they want to pay with paypal.

Beware of out of country scampers.

EXACT same thing just happened to me.  That same Alice Cage responded to a listing I put on KSL.com in Utah to sell my wedding ring.  I didn't feel right about things, and after doing some research, obviously did not go through with the sale.  Is there something more that can be done to report these people?  It's so wrong what they are doing and I just wish there was something more that could be done to protect sellers like us and those of us who are honest and have worked to create a decent name for ourselves on eBay and elsewhere!!
