Scam... Sounds like a fake email, Log into paypal.com and see what your account says.

The only case I would ever post anything, is if you find the following from within the secure paypal site under the transaction details:

Originally Posted by Paypal Transaction Page

Your funds will be released after 21 days, providing your buyer hasn't reported any problems. We may be able to release the money sooner if we can confirm that the item was delivered or, if this is an eBay item, your buyer leaves you positive feedback.
To help speed up the process, please take the following steps:

1. Check below to see if this transaction is eligible for seller protection. For more information, see our tips on how to sell securely
2. Ship to the buyer's address as stated on this page
3. If your item is over Ł150 please use a shipping service which offers signature confirmation
4. Save all proof of shipping, and email tracking information to your buyer
Otherwise - SCAM

Mrs Marina Mark to me
show details 23:32 (11 hours ago)

Hello,
How are you,how was your day, I hope everything is alright, Have made the payment according to what you request,and i hope you must to have get the confirmation of the payment from paypal by now,Once you have the confirmation try to go through it.So,once you go through it go ahead and make the shipment of the item.
According to what i read at the confirmation sent to me from the paypal that Since the payment has been made now you need to go ahead and make the shipment and send the shipment tracking number to paypal customer service. so,i think you need to go ahead and make the shipment via MALTAPOST Register Letter3-7DAYS and send the shipment tracking number to the paypal for them to activate the money into your account in the next 24 hours after they confirm the shipment.
I want you to understand that once you ship out the item via MALTAPOST Register Letter 3-7DAYS and you send the shipment tracking number to paypal they will activate the money into your account.
Here is the shipping address for your to make the shipment:
Name:Akindele Tolu
Address:5b oris
City:Ire
State:Osun State.
Country:Nigeria.
Zipcode:23405
Phone Number:+2348035432725

So,i want you to make the shipment of the item first this tomorrow morning and also get back to me with the shipment tracking number including the waybill scan copy from MALTAPOST Register Letter 3-7DAYS DELIVERY and also do not declare the amount i offer to you for the item at the MALTAPOST Register Letter3-7DAYS just present the item as a gift.........I hope you understand me.
I will be awaiting for your fast response back as fast as possible for you with the shipment tracking number.
NOTE:PLEASE DON'T DECLEAR THE VALUE OF THE ITEM ON THE SHIPMENT RECEIPT AT POST OFFICE BECAUSE OF THE CUSTOM FEE IN NIGERIA.
Thanks.
Mrs Marina Mark.


thankx alan. how is your escort m8?

Nothing to Nigeria!
I almost got ripped of for more then $270k !!!

One of the companies I work for almost sent 600 Mtons of product without receiving a dime! I contacted local consulates and authorities. The whole country is a mess. 140 million people, 70-80% cannot read/write etc.
There is a whole article/report on this @ www.cnn.com as well.

Luckily we did not lose money.

Cheers,

R.

a word of warning , do not log in to yuor paypal account through any emails, all you will be doing is giving the scammers your log in details.

always go through the website.

You havent clicked on any Paypal links and signed in via them from any of her emails have you? If you have change your Paypal password now before you get cleaned out and your account gets used to scam other people.

they dont have a clue,say you require an extra pound in sterling to get a tracking number and try to scam her right back,just for the sport mind!

this pound must be payed directly in good faith.

send her some random numbers as the tracking number and then wait patiently for the replies to come flooding through

then just say you've scammed her and she can report you to paypal if she likes

in the mean time, forward the emails and everyting you've recived to paypal directly
