Same thing happen to me. I almost shipped my blackberry, but the lady at the post office told me how people lost their stuff doing that.
The email used was <email address removed in accordance with Community Guidelines> SELLER BEWARE!!!

GSinKY- I do know that some of our marketing teams have been working on new ways to get in touch with customers, but I couldn't find anything about this particular 'promotion'. If you still have the email, please forward it to spoof@paypal.com and we'll look it over. At the very least, we like to try and keep track of people using our name fraudulently.

agree with the previous post, cut off any contact you have with them and don't send or wire money to them. It's a waste of time doing business with them.

many of the posters say things like "I'm working here, but I'll be back in the US in a little while" "I don't have anyone who can handle this transaction for me" "I don't know anyone who can meet you in person" "I'm here in Nigeria, on a business transfer' just be very careful not to set anything up with anyone who lives in nigeria.

I think it's a scam unless the sale is being done locally. If it's an out of the country shipment. (overseas etc.) it's a scam and you shouldn't follow up on the transaction anymore.

I agree with all the prior posts, many people from there go on sites like facebook, ebay, craigslist and others looking for someone they can trick into helping them out. I wouldn't follow up anymore with this "author" and like others posted cut off any contact you have with him or her.

I wouldn't send the item(s) either. I sold my laptop on craiglist/facebook and I got the same pending payment email. When I emailed paypal to verify everything, they said the person's account had been reported in for being a scammer or spamming.
