Hi - thanks for your advice. Have twigged its a scam & forwarded emails to Paypal spoof - obis not going to post item. Just getting emails from "distraught " customer " Fred White" in Lagos lool. Have put all correspondence in a folder. Paypal haven't got back to me but FAKE Paypal have. Real paypal haven't contacted me & I can't contact them.  I really don't need this. Should I delete all correspondence or can I keep in a separate file ? I've got no income  -theyre welcome to access my bank account etc ( not)  but good luck with that.so what can these scammers do ?

Hi - long story! Posted a gold & diamond necklace on e-bay. Received an email if I would post to Nigeria - said yes. Notified by e-mail from Paypal was made £380. It is pending. Received another from "Paypal" requesting a tracking number before funds could be cleared. Am obviously being asked to post item before receiving cleared payment. It was a fake Paypal page & I've forwarded it to spoof. Keep getting frantic email from purchaser in Lagos insisting money has left his paypal account - its not cleared in mine. Is he a scammer or have we both ben scammed. Obviously not going to post item til money clears. Trying to SPEAK to someone @ Paypal but cannot uncover an actual phone number. Very stressed. Advice please ? ... View more
