I understand your situation. It just happen last few days and now I call the police. Unfortunately, they cannot help me too much because they has no authority which covers in Nigeria. I try to post in ebay community to warn every users to raise the awareness of contact someone that seem suspicious. However, ebay said my post is violence due to the policy. Yes, I post the name, address and scam emails to let everyone knows. I feel ver disappoint that why ebay does not warn the user about the scams through inbox chanel. @arcadya666 wrote: I`ve just been scammed for about £500 today on this way and unfortunatelly i`ve found this post too late. Someone from UK bought my laptop for the price that i was asking for ... had some discussion with her by email, told me that now she`s in Spain and bought the laptop for her son that he lives in Nigeria and is his birthday and bla bla and she paid already by paypall £470 for laptop + delivery. I got a bit suspicious because i keept asking her about the payment and always said that did it already and try to check even my spam maybe the confirmation got there somehow and she got a bit concerned because of this and gona report me to ebay. Second day i`ve started to receive emails from ebay like that user reported me that i didnt dispatched an item that was paid for and my account its gona get suspended if i`m not going to deliver the item in next 24 hours and got from paypal as well like this one: email from service@uknowwho but if u try to reply u`ll find out that the real email is something else (unfortunatelly i`ve noticed that too late, my packet was already picked up from the post office by a Parcel Force Agent)...

I`ve tried to cancel this delivery calling back to Parcel Force, forgetting about geting refunded back, just to stop this but they said to me that cant do anything about because if they cancel it its criminal offence, i`m gonna lose my money on delivery service because they`ll deliver it anyway and i should do a complaint to my local police office, maybe they will start to investigate and try to catch up the one who did this fraud. I thank them for helping me with nothing, for paid them £100 for that delivery and all they can say is "I am sorry but we cant help you" so now i just hope that Ebay or Paypal might help me to cancel Parcel Force delivery providing the evidence that i got. Anyway, if i will not solve this, i hope the others will see this post before doing what i`ve did and dont gave up no matter how much pressure is on you. @arcadya666 wrote: I`ve just been scammed for about £500 today on this way and unfortunatelly i`ve found this post too late.
