Is it possible that I got this email from service??? Please help me! We have just received an important email from the shipping company as we are about to activate your funds to your account,we know it is our fault but the whole money is now in your account for withdrawal,The transaction has been updated by our ISP PROVIDER and the shipping company sent us an urgent email that we should hold the funds because you have to pay for the police report fee,their agent is now at the Airport coming for the Pickup at your country while the police requested a fee from the shipping company,they charged him €250.00 EUR,We want you to try your hardest to find the money and make the police report fee and send us the Western Union Details for verification and confirmation of the money withdrawal. We are so sorry and this issue came up so fast that we could have been the one responsible for it if you have received the money before we receive the email from the shipping company.the total sum of €1,250.00 EUR will be posted to your account directly for withdrawal. below is the address where you have to pay the police report fee so that they can allow the shipping company agent comes for the pickup,there is no way we will update your account without paying it because the shipper must not miss his flight as it has already been scheduled at the airport and you have only 2hrs: to complete the payment via Western Union and send the receipt to us instantly. We urge you to go and make the payment as soon as possible.your money transfer has been completed but you cannot withdraw it and we have notify your buyer and he has made the additional payment of €250.00 EUR including the Western Union charges.

This is a typical scam ..................

They encourage you to accept a 'direct' Paypal payment and may ask you to send the item internationally.
No funds or activity of the transaction shows in your Paypal account and any emails 'may' go into your junk or spam folders.

They don't quibble on cost and may also say they can't view the item as they are disabled or working abroad etc etc but they will arrange a shipping agent to collect it.

You will get/got a "fake" email that looks as though it is from paypal.....it isn't because they don't actually have a Paypal account and have no intention of paying you.
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.

OR
The 'fake' paypal email will tell you that the buyer has paid for the item + shipping costs but you must send those shipping costs to the courier/ shipping agent via western union, moneygram or walmart etc BEFORE the funds are released to you.
They are not interested in the item, they just want the western union etc funds and you will never see money in your paypal balance.

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

Or once you have sent and they know you have become a victim they may again send you 'fake' Paypal emails stating they sent too much and you have to refund BEFORE the funds are released to your balance or you have to send a western union payment to pay customs fees etc.


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.

@timike

None of the transaction was done using Paypals site.

You used western union to send a 'gift' of money to someone.

You were the victim of a scam.
