the same thing happend to me but if you mouse over the so called "paypal service" name on your email it will appear as a strange email and the email does not she those little terms and condition and privacy policy links below the email, and the ebay buyer has a private account for example my scam went by the name "nora wilson" in nigeria to her son because she was on a "business trip" so be on the look out takecare everyone...

before 3 weeks i added 2 different ads on the same site to sell 2 different musical instruments. I got 3 emails from 3 different guys all coming from nigeria oyo state city:ibadan. I have to mention that 2 of the emails sent to me were identical besides the adresses and the names but the rest of them was exactly same. The fake apparently buyer was offering me 600 euros just for the shipment fee while the shipment fee was actually 150(too good to be true) euros... Later i received some emails from 2 different banks(first national bank and trust, national bank of america) wanting to me to send them the shipping tracking number to verify that i have sent the instruments. While trying to make sure that the so called buyer is not a fraud i came across some information concerning the policy the first national bank and trust follows. In the bank's site they mentioned that they never ask for personal information of the seller such as bank number or pins through email. Thankfully i read your stories and saved me from losing instruments of total value 2000 euros. I have to say that i'm wondering, what the hell is a guy from nigeria going to do with 2 greek music instrument and also does anybody know if there is anyway to do something to stop that guy...
