I just had an attempted phish via a Nigerian scammer. Claimeed to be American and 'needed help' sending the item to his colleuge overseas.

If you are ever not sure about the authenticity of a transaction, forward the email with payment confirmation to spoof@paypal.com. I got a reply within minutes verifying that it the seller was attempting to phish my accounts.
