OMG, Same exact thing happened to my boyfriend. A guy named Jose wanted my boyfriend to ship out the laptop to Nigeria for his Nephew and wanted the tracking number right away. Thank god the postal office lady told us it was a scam and we did not ship it.

I have a buyer who purchased an item Sept. 29, 2011. It says the payment was instant and the funds were available. So there was no reason not to ship out the item.The USPS tracking system shows she has received her item Oct. 4, 2011. I then received an email on Oct. 4, 2011 from Paypal stating that the funds for this purchase is being held. It says the the buyers bank has reversed the transaction. There is not open dispute against me. She has received her item. So now I am without the funds for the item and now the item as well. What is going on? Is there anyway I can get my money back for the product?

It is a scam. The same thing happened to by boyfriend. He was trying to sell his tablet and the buyer said he put the money in my boyfriend Paypal account. But the buyer wanted it shipped to a totally different country. The buyer said the funds would be released when my boyfriend gave him the tracking number. When we went to the post office to ship the package off the Postal worker told us not to did and that it was a scam and with a little more digging on the situation it was indeed a scam. Dont do it!
