Selling Stuff

[Haccord21]

WARNING
So, im trying to get money so i can get my h22. I posted up my Ipod and doc station. I posted it up on craigslist. About two days later. I got an email from a guy telling me he was interested in it and was oddly acting as if it was very important and that he was very interested in it. So he said he added 50 bucks to what i was asking it for, i was happy about that. Got two emails from paypal saying that i recieved money but couldnt use it until i had the tracking information. That was weird and i dont have money, thats why i was selling it. So i called paypal, I explained what was going on, he was absolutely clueless since my paypal account didnt show any signs of money in it. And then, he asks me does it ask to ship to Nigeria? And well, yes it was supposed to go to nigeria which was random as hell since i live in a small town in washington on an island. But he tells me that they send out emails, make you think you have the money, you send out your item, they get it for free, you never get your money that they said they sent you. So this is just a warning for anyone that post on craigslist or gets any weird shit going on and doesnt show that money was in your paypal account.

CL Scammers FTL!

yep, thats why i won't ship anything until the money is there. and NEVER use links for your paypal or your bank. I always open a new tab and type the URL in. If the $$$ isn't there AT LEAST pending in my paypal (Which hasn't happened anyway) then im not shipping shit.

[Haccord21]

yea, i honestly got lucky, if it wasnt for usps opening at 9, i would have tried finding a way to get the money to ship it. But i called paypal and got lucky.

[vietkid_2006]

if it sounds too good to be true. most likely it's a scammer.

[Haccord21]

Be sure you change your Paypal password NOW... just in case you attempted to log in with a bogus link.


There's only one good thing in our little slice of the automotive world that has ever come from Nigeria... one person, rather.

[Haccord21]

bisi?

To the OP, im surprised that u have never heard about these scams before

[deevergote]

Yessir. Bisi is from Aba, Nigeria. Can't say everything that comes from Nigeria is a scam!

[Haccord21]

Well i usually dont sell too much. And when i do its with guys on here, never sold to bisi, therefore never sold to nigeria Didnt realize it was something thats been known. lol Now anyone that doesnt know, will know. Didnt think it was possible for it to happen, its crazy how exact everything was.
