Ok, I have a broken PSP im trying to sell on ebay. This guy buys it(hasnt paid for it yet) and wants me to send it nigeria...RED FLAG. Heres the kicker, he sends 'payment'. Being the nice guy he is, he sends me $150 for the PSP, and $150 for shipping, what a great guy!

Yea, the email he sent was 'From: service @paypal.com <online.verification@accountant.com>'

with this address after it: online.verification@accountant.com Unfortunately for him, im not an idiot and i know that has nothing to do with paypal, plus, theres this thing called 'logging in' to paypal and checking that i use quite frequently, and how weird, the $150 is not there.

this is his email:
Hello....
thanks for the mail,please i will like to let you that am a business man.and i travelled alot, so right now am on a business trip to italy so please i will not be at home. that is why i want the item to be ship from your place.so i will like to let you know that i have made the payment some minutes ago.so when you receive the payment confirmation from paypal that i have made the payment you can ship out the item through dhl because i have pay 150$ for the shipping and 150 for the psp.
so as soon as you have ship out the item get back to paypal with the shipment tracking number and paypal will credit your paypal account immediately.
thanks for the kindness

this is his first email to me:
Good Day seller,
I am Howard Mitchell i am from United state of America,
and i have a boy in Africa(Nigeria)who is studying temporally in university
of Nigeria(west Africa) so i want to send a suprice gift for him as
his birthday
present, and i will like to inform you that am ok with the price of
the item and am willing to buy it for him. so this is the address
where the item will be ship to below:

Name:wale seun
Address:2 olatunde okebola street off maternity bus stop ifako ijaiye ogba
City:Ikeja
state:Lagos
Country:Nigeria
Zip Code:23401

So i will be paying you through via PAYPAL or POSTEPAY.So kindly get
back to me with the cost of shipping to Nigeria via FEDEX or DHL or
ITALIAN POSTE,and
the total cost,your paypal account.
Hoping to hear from you soon.
Best Regards
H.Mitchell

    Too bad Joel isnt around anymore. You could send him over to beat him with his Mag Light!

    Man, you sure those 2 emails arent from the same person? Maybe he had a stroke or something and forgot the English language. You should be more considerate.
