Default Re: Paypal Nigeria scam??

Nigeria would raise alarms in my head any day of the week. Be very careful. Most of the internet scams and fraud come out of this country - simple fact.

Now, if it is a scam, here is why they want to pay via Paypal. Because you can pull any payment you make via Paypal up to three months later. That means, you spend the money he pays you and he can pull it back a month later, leaving you negative that amount he paid and also with a free gift that you sent him. I would not accept paypal at all if you have an inkling of doubt. Paypal do not ask questions alot of the time, all he has to do is dispute a payment, say it was paid without his permission, or that he never recieved your item, and they will refund him from your account.
