hey i don't know if i post it in the correct topics but just trying to tell you guys from my recent online experience. to all those in-experience seller like me, do not ship oversea if the buyer requested it to(especially if the location is nigeria), as it might be a scam and that scammer can fake a paypal email and force you to send out the item or will take legal action against you(don't believe him). A guy who claims to be british and work in canada (he said he is a engineer?) requested me to send the item to nigeria to his son in nigeria. this is one of the common scam that is happening right now. i believe him in the first place but after doing some research online, i found out i was about to become one of those victims... luckily i didn't send out the item... if you want more info just go google and there will be a whole lot of list. if i am not wrong, paypal specifically prohibits ALL transactions with Nigeria. if you know the guy that email to you was a scammer, forward that email to [email protected] and do not respond to any of this scammer's emails. sorry for my bad english.. just trying to stop this kind of scam from happening..
