I sold an iphone 5c on ebay and posted the item, only to realise that it was a FRAUD. I have now lost out on £400+.
I have called Royal mail - they said they can't interfere with any parcels that have been posted already aka can't stop the parcel from leaving the country so there is nothing that they can do.
I called the police and they gave me a crime reference number so I called Royal Mail back but they then told me that no one can stop the parcel getting to the receipient apart from the Home Secretary....
**I received fake emails pretending to be paypal which I have also reported to the police - ONLINE_PAYMENTDESK @ TIMEPASS.COM- THIS IS FAKE!!!
If you google timepass.com it is just an email account - similar to hotmail google yahoo etc.
WHATEVER YOU DO - DO NOT SEND ANY ITEMS TO THIS ADDRESS
20,Alhaja Road,

This scam has been running for years.
No one in Nigeria can own a paypal account.
