Hello, I was about to be the victim of fraud today. US based guys sent me money and there was nothing that I could see on my paypal account but only on the email. The email that I was getting looked so real with PayPal copyright as the signature of the email and the from: was "service Paypal.com<nameofbuyer_gmail.com>. He said i will send $900USD to upgrade my account and then sent another email saying pay through moneygram to Nigeria. I called PayPal and came to know that the buyer do not have account with the email id and that it is trap. I was lucky that i understood the trap plan and the first thing i did in morning was going to Canada post and retrieve the shipment. The anti-fraud team told me that these criminalist can use your identity for criminal. Lesson learned - Exchange items physically only and that too go to nearest police station as they have special parking lot for selling/buying goods. Best is the cash, dont give account information ever. Good luck!!! Couldn't thank god enough for bringing me out of this mess.
