Be very careful. I was 13 when i got scammed lol. I sold an ipod for 200 pounds. Paypal send me an email saying that the money wont be showing in my account for 3 days but i have to send them a parcel tracking number,and it all looked very realistic. So in my stupidly i send the item to Africa!!!,and no money. I send them a email 5 times but nothing. I printed all the documents which they send me for future reference.
I have learned from my mistake.
Paypals email is Something like PAYPAL@.......
Scammers email should be something like PAYP7467@
But they are all different.
And also notice the logo is a low quality picture on the scammers email..
The womens story was...
My husband works for a charity comapny in Africa and i am buying this as a gift for him. ( through ebay) i said would you like extras and she kept saying yes, And then the fack paypal took over. She stopped her ebay account. I tried contacing ebay and Paypal for a partial refund but nothing!.
and thats my life story lol...
Thanks
