Hi
from a police point of view if you were to try to dupe the scammer
and your account was hacked, pay pal would in all probability suspend
your account and launch an investigation. They may well say that you
helped the scammer obtain access to pay pals systems(just a thought)
so beware you could get caught up in a lot of mess. My advice for
what its worth leave it alone and the old adage 'if it seems to good
to be true it usually is'

hiya
anyone any good in dealing with the usual scams?
cant work tthis one out for sure yet, i think ....
advertised my 3G iPhone on gumtree
mr X so called business man in Finland wants to buy it for his
daughter but could i post it for an extra 60 quid to..guess! ;)
>>>> Nigeria of course ! ;[]
he is offering to pay with paypal so i said gowon then ;) but
smarty pants got back to me saying he wants a money request to him
via my paypal...
now is this so he can say he never received it if i would be so
stupid to even post it there in the first place so he can claim his
money back via paypal insurance, which i expect it to be the case
or would this scamming silly bugger actually get further and into
my paypal account ?
if no one can tell me the plot behind this im quiet happy to try it
out and obviously not send him the phone or do it in such a way he
has to sign for it on reception altho that wont yet exist there in
Nigeria scam capitol of the world ? aint checked with post office
yet and then indeed just paypal return his money and play silly
games with him because then i can go to paypal to report it and
that account gets closed and he looses out on his 400? quid for a
month he could make some money of the interest if he would even
have that kind of money!?
whats the coup with this one?
OK maybe bit off topic mac thing but surely appreciated to see what
to watch out for online? If not my apologise !
hang on to keep youz happy...
Q: How many MAC owners does it take to change a light bulb?
.......
A: Only one, but he'd have to go out and buy the light bulb adaptor
card first, which cost extra.
