Am I getting scammed if a person named lynda love sends me 900 plus an extra 200 to send my Nikon D80 to Nigeria?I agree but I already got an email from paypal saying the money has been transfered and is waiting for the tracking code to be put in so I can use the money I am very suspicious if when I go the post office pack my shit and send it when I get the tracking code wont work or if this is illegal I have no idea please help me. and the address they sent I don't even know if it fucking exsists ABEKUTA,

OYO STATE,

IBADAN,

NIGERIA,

I looked it up on google maps..... I can't explain that would be racist

 
way i see it is

so its ascam
 
nah dude its fine. once you ship it out, she will DEFINITELY pay you then. even call up paypal because they will 100% have that transaction hold on record.
 
yea she has already payed me bc I got the email from paypal I just dont want to give my camera to the post office and go home put the tracking code in my paypal to send a check to me but I dont want the tracking code not to work because she made me send my camera to some bogus address in fucking nigeria
 
yeah man that email is totally legit. its def. the postal office you have to be worried about and not the girl from nigeria with poor english.
 
ooohh, so the american with poor english skills wants you to send it to a shit hole 3rd world country as a gift but wont pay you until you send it AND you're worried about the post office?

i gotcha. no its legit. dont worry, the post office is pretty reliable.
 
hahah DO NOT send your camera unless you wanna get scammed. There are soo many scammers with almost the same story.
 
Alright thanks

yeaaaaaa I am done with this thing I'll just send the money back to her paypal and say no deal or somthing
 
what if it isnt... maybe all those adults who told us we'd never amount to anything were actually completely right?
 
does your account show her money in it? if not, then she never paid you, you god damned fucking waste of sperm and egg.
 
i know others said it -----------------------------------BUT ITS A SCAM---------------------------------- NEVER EVER DEAL IF THEY MENTION NIGERIA. ITS A SCAM! save yourself your money and end this. I almost got scammed, they sent me a money order (which was fake) and luckily somehow the cops or something found it and send me a big leter and told me what to do to help them catch the con artist
 
I think that if someone needs to be told in BOLD LETTERS that they're a moron, we should just let natural selection run its course and maybe they'll eliminate themselves from the gene pool...they seem capable enough
 
i bet you 10 bucks that if you call paypal, they will tell you that email is fake and that there is no holding transaction... actually you know what? if youre this retarded, you deserve to loose that money. go ahead, paypal it back to "her"
 
I really think you should do it, and then tell us what happens. I promise I won't even tell you I told you so.
 
hey. i just noticed something. if you say green bean with your mouth closed it sounds like gullible
 
It's gotta suck so much to try to be legit and by some stuff off ebay if you live in Nigeria, this is unfair!
 
its not a scam, sounds pretty legit actually.but that is really racist of you to look up that town on google maps, come on how low can you be.
 
Ok, last year when I was trying to sell my G-suit the same thing happened, I almost sent it and then some kids here bought it. I was at the post office getting a shipping quote and it turned out being like $400 to nigeria. I don't know how this scam works because it seems like the only person benefiting would have been UPS. I actually got scammed by the kid on NS too, he never paid the shipping. But whatever I bought a gsuit for 300 CAD and sold it for 500 USD so I wasn't complaining.

 
This thread is too funny. Never heard of the NIGERIAN SCAMS before?

Here is a pertinent quote:
Fake websitesThough 419 scams are often perpetrated by e-mail alone, some scammers enhance believability of their offer by using a sham website. They create these sites to impersonate real commercial sites, such as eBay, PayPal, or a banking site like Bank of America or The Natwest Bank for phishing. Others represent fictional companies or institutions to give the scam credibility.
 
Whats wrong with dealing with nigeria? I sponsor all 8 impoverished nigerian princesses that emailed me and they love having a bed and 3 meals a day. They send me so many emails thanking me. It feels good to know that I'm helping make the world a better place.
