I have just received a email from someone asking for my paypal details, to make payment for a product that they where interested in.

So being a business we then forwarded them the payment instructions.

About a day after this, we then received an email which first appeared to be from the Paypal U.K division. The email stated that payment was made and had cleared into our account and to send items to an address in Nigeria.
So when we checked if it was there…clearly nothing had been deposited.

After this I decide to Google Nigeria and Scams and found the article….Thank god…I would have sent them anything anyway until the payment cleared (the nerve of them, what they think where that stupid!)At least now about them and can report it and stay clear of their emails.

Inregards to Greta’s article, yeah Ebay will not do anything about this scams.

The ones you need to see are;

eBay does not care about anything other than fees. millions have been spammed because of eBay, use Paypal and you are guaranteed spam emails for every transaction! with all of their billions you’d think that spam would never occur after using their services. not.

our boycott is not spam related however we are uniting because of all of eBay and Paypal’s current policy changes. it makes spam look like a holiday card.

eBay has lost their integrity a long time ago, in life and business they are basic requirements. we can see the wizard behind the curtain, hopefully the stockholders will too.

in the meantime,
