Fraud in Nigeria

Everyone please be aware.  This just happened to me.  Something was telling me this wasn't right.  This person contacted me by phone via text.  They only said they could do payment via paypal even after I requested another method.  I contacted Paypal and they confimed that this was a fake email and fraud.  Please look out for this address and email below.

 

Email:  Sanchez Foxy, just sent you money with PayPal.

Well known scam, sorry you fell for it, you only have to google nigeria and you will see the regular scams.

 

Buyers in Nigeria can't own a paypal account.

But if your buyer had not paid then you don't send the item.

 

Remember   >>>

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.

Paypal NEVER expect you to use a rival money transfer service ( for items requiring a courier).
