I put an add on Craigslist for a Blackberry Storm I am selling. This is the response I got after I replied to an e-mail from a Nicholas Angel asking if I was still selling: “I am buying it for a friend,here is the shipping address

I’m OK with the listed price and the condition of the item.get back to
me with the shipping cost via UPS Next Day air and your paypal email
ID so i can proceed with the payment.”

I received thesame email unfortunately it was my first time using paypal

After shipping the item i contacted paypal about payment status since i did not received the promised confirmation email

they verified they did not send me the email and asked if I was asked to ship it to Nigeria

(I was a little insulted since I am from Nigeria)

I contacted UPS and i’m having the package intercepted.
