I was too smart for this guy, but as the story goes. I was selling a Men's Wedding Ring on Craigslist because I was short on cash and needed to pay a bill. Anyway, this guy from Nigeria, his name is Cain Bruce, he said he was located in NY but on business in Libya. He wanted my ring for his daughter, who's schooling is in Nigeria. I had no reason to distrust him at this point, so i said okay sure. He asked how much? I told him 300.00. He offered me 350.00, thats the ring purchase plus shipping. I said okay. Then he brought up paypal, and said he needed my email address connected with that account. I gave it to him the email address. He emails be back saying he sent it. I checked, and it wasnt there. Then he said its pending because of a new policy paypal has. They need the tracking numberbefore they'll release the funds. I didnt buy it. I told him he dont get the ring til i get the money in my account. Then I get this email from "Legal Action With FBI" that says this: It is important we know the status of the item "Men's Wedding Ring" bought otherwise, legal may be taken against you, since you have not replied to the confirmation of payment made to your account by Mr Cain Bruce as soon as possible. We believed you entered into binding agreement by requesting money through PayPal,and by non-response to the payment confirmation made to your account you have violate the PayPal agreement. This is a legal deal and however the buyer has already contacted us in other to take actions about your non-response.We are ensuring to make PayPal a safer place, therefore we need to set confidence on our users. Shipment tracking details must be sent to some check tracking account email. PayPalTeam Sincerely Copyright 2000-2010 PayPal . All rights reserved.

Username: cainbruce006 I mean come on. I use paypal all the time. I know that if he really sent something through my account, and even if it was processing, which its highly unlikely. He would have been addressing me by my real first and lastname, not my internet first and lastname. LOL.
