I sold my tablet on Kijiji website cuz i live in edmonton. However, this guy contactedme and said he wanted to buy my tablet for his Fiancee as her birthday present. He offered me CAD $550 (i sold my tablet for CAD$ 400) and it included the shipping fee. However, i felt a little biy weird cuz he tried to hurry me up every morning around 8:30am he said he was in New York for business meeting. However, I don't know if its true or not. he said paypal has already verified the money and they will credit me after i send the package and send paypal back the tracking number. however I followed what he said and sent paypal the tracking number. however, the situation went like ... I had to pay for 350 for custom bills and 600 for sth Value added tax and importation charges....    and they are now asking me for 900 for courier service and fuel sub charges..... seriously i do not know if its real or not.. because this guy keeps texting me and his fiancee text me from a foreign number and keeps calling me. I do not know what to do... I send all the mail to spoof@paypal.com and report the number to MoneyGram to investigate the problem. Im scared I cannot get my money back.     Although, i send the mail to paypal to ask if this is a fraud mail and the representitive sent me back and said this is not a fraud mail..... here is the mail content:   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Anna Yu,       Thank you for contacting PayPal customer help center. My name is Sara McCullough a PayPal representative.      This is a response based on your complain for customer supports about the $900.00 USD charges for Courier Service and Fuel Sud-Charges payment required of you.
