NOOOOOOOO dont fall for it!!! dont do it!!! they are a scammer! I'm not joking with you or anything, you don't deserve to get scammed, tell them the deal is off, if you got an email saying that paypal has confirmed that they have paid BUT it isn't in your account yet then call paypal and make sure they actually paid you. Of course if they actually paid you then great! but most likely you've gotten a fake paypal email that they cleverly designed to make it look like it's paypal (test it by opening the email they sent you and hit the reply to mail option... if you're not replying to the paypal email address and its really some trackingmanager email then its a FAKE). They'll try to blame you for being a bad seller but you should report them for fraud before they can do anything and make sure to get their account banned.

Te person I talked to at USPS was not helpful at all with the paperwork I had to fill out to ship the package so I actually didn't fill it out correctly LOL... and so the package is stuck in the Nigeria customs until I give them more info, so instead I just asked them to return the package, hopefully they will x__x In any case I confronted the buyer and told them what I thought of their dirty scamming ways and they keep trying to deny it, so I told them if they really weren't a scammer they'd just pay the freakin invoice!!! And then they asked me for my phone number and told me they wanted to talk to me to prove they weren't a scammer... HAH **bleep** NO! I know for a fact they could trace me by my number, I was hoping to use their emails to trace them by ISP. I contacted the police department but since I don't really have that much info on the person... and who knows what their real name is.. I don't know if they can do anything about it. Just curious were you guys asked to send your package to oscar adoleye? I just wanted to see if we're all being scammed by the same person.

OK so I really wished I had read these forums BEFORE I sent this package 😞 but I had recieved an email saying that paypal has verified that the person has sent me money and would fund my account with the money once I sent a tracking number, so I did that, and also sent them a picture of the reciept (is that going to cause me even more problems??) and then they told me that in order for the package to be released from customs I have to pay 250.00 to some person through western union, they said that the buyer had been charged and that I would be funded that money once I sent them the tracking number for that. Now I got REAL suspicious because my paypal account showed no signs of charging the person the extra money... so I called paypal and they told me never to send anything to Nigeria ever, x__x I should have just called paypal in the first place! In any case I wanted to know if I just never send the money to release the package from customs will it eventually come back to me? Or is it lost forever? I called USPS and they told me they couldn't answer my question and I know many other people have been scammed recently so is there any hope? I really needed that money to pay for my rent, now I don't even have money to buy food. this sucks.
