Ebay scammer with good feedback score offers to buy my apple i pod and made me an offer. Via ebay messages and then through e mail address. The ebay members name is mindyhamstra how profile says from the USA. We make an agreement on a price and they are to use paypals. I received a confimation email from paypals or so i thought, stating payment received but for security would be held until shipping could be verified. This is standard practice for new members fund to be held until verification. So i think they target new members of ebay selling expensie item with not many deal completed as myself.
Beware, These phoney paypals emails are really good fakes with correct correspondants and logos.
Very professional. They can get a lot of people with this. Thay would have gotten me also but certain thing they said made me weary, like this is a gift for my grandson, the times of emails 4am 3:54am, and thay wanted items send express to Nigeria.
Anyway these fake paypals emails also said that the fund may not show up right away. This made me call paypals, and thay said they will never make you send an item without the money showing on your account as at least pending which it wasn't. And they also told me no fund had been paid.
When every in doubt contact paypals directly.
The last email i sent to the scammers said the item had been sent certified with insurance because their is much fraud and mail theft in Nigeria. They responded somewhat defensive saying their is fraud all over the world, and my ebay feedback speek for themseles, and i'm honest.
But the truth is they are dishonest a profesional con artists.
