  • don't touch this with a bargepole....

    I've only glanced at your post but:

    - You mention Nigeria (always a warning sign)
    - that's not a real email address for paypal e.g "usa.com" and "customerscare" spelling mistake
    "RECOMMENDS contacting the Customer Support Representative that has been assigned to this particular Order directly" again why, very dodgy!

    I'm sure others will have better knowledge of this, but this is deffo a scam

    I agree, what paypal do you usually use? You say you have to post an item to nigeria, why? Did someone from there buy it? Or has someone asked for it to be shipped there? Did you sell a mobile phone or something computer like by any chance?

    Just re read it, paypal would never say - if you don't have a paypal account then payment will be delivered to any address.

    Don't touch.

    My boss and his wife are (originally) Nigerian. They own an internet shop and they say themselves that they wouldn't touch Nigeria with a bargepole.

    Nigeria doesn't have a postal service so if they bought something on Ebay how on earth would they get it??? Proves that it's scam central.
