Nigeria is where most of these scammers come from. It's not really from pay pal. Forget him, or figure out a way to report him.It's a scam for sure. |

This is a known scam - avoid avoid avoid.
So well known in fact that a warning made it's way to our local paper.
I would advise pay pal as well by the way as he is apparently using their name fraudulently also. |

Sounds dodgy - wouldn't touch the sale with a barge pole. Sorry but be careful it doesn't sound good... Mind you, if he's paid BEFORE you send the item surely you would then have his money? If you double check it's in your PayPal account... |

That is definately a scam I wouldn't send the phone leave it on ebay and report the man to ebay. Even if he isn't registered at least they can warm others and be aware of fraud. If it sounds to good to be true then chances are it is fraud!!! |

it doesn't matter what he intends to do with the phone. maybe he wants to send it to mars-who cares. all you care about is getting good funds AND keeping your paypal account secure.
tell him to put the money into your account. AFTER you extract the money successfully from you account, send him the phone.
No money-------no phone. |

No.....dont do it, he may have already stolen you identity. Inform paypal immediately and change any accounts you have with them. |

Yeah it's a con. Continue selling through ebay and it might be worthwhile to add a disclaimer at the end of each description of any item you sell saying that you will sell only through ebay, and NEVER privately. This will save them getting in touch with you to ask, hopefully. Report this to ebay too. |

Have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with this guy or Nigeria. There has been a recent spate of cons over the internet from Nigeria and some people have become BANKRUPT through them. |

Send the details through to ebay and paypal so they can prevent this happening to anyone else.
also follow the instructions here http://www.oft.gov.uk/Consumer/Scams/Discover.htm
Then enjoy your shopping as usual... |

Ebay strongly advises against making any arrangement to buy/sell anything independantly from it. I agree with everyone else, its a con and don't fall for it.
Plus I doubt its hard to mock up an email that will tell you he's paid. It's all too wiffy.... |
