I to had recently "sold" an item and got an email stating that the trasaction had been made but in order for the money to post to my account I need to send confirmation on shipping and tracking number. I was sending the package to a guys son in Nigeria. I thought it was odd that it wasnt showing in my PayPal account as pending so I called my brother who deals with paypal all the time. I sent him the emails I got from paypal ( i thought) he immediatly said do not ship the item. It was a scam. The guys stated he paid me $520 to include shipping, but still nothing. I went into paypal to request payment from the guy and it came back that there was no account for that person. Now this guy keeps asking me to send the package today and is very insistant that the money will be there once i send the tracking info into the email address provided in the letter. I tried to click on the email to see where it took me if i was to send a tracking number and it didnt open anything. The guy I have been dealing with is *removed* I guess he is from TX and I had only posted something online on craigslist for columbia, sc; very confused on how he came across my ad?
