To cut a long story short, a phone I listed on ebay sold for £112 last night. And guess what......:

Dear seller,

So anyway, i've recieved an email today from [email protected] (Got sent to my ebay email address rather than my paypal one.... stupid nigerian messed that one up):

This email confirms that Laura Brainder has sent you 132.00GBP with PayPal for an ebay item

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To complete this payment, you must ship the item to the shipping address given to you by the buyer and provide us with the shipment tracking number to [email protected] for verification within 48hours so that we can credit your PayPal account accept or deny it within 30 days.

If you do not accept or deny this payment within 30 days, it will be cancelled and the funds will be returned to
Laura Brainder account.

Shipping was meant to be 9.99 but she sent £20. Obviously i'm not gonna send the phone, but is there anything I can do to scam them? No money in my paypal account obviously, so how have they used that @paypal.com address to email me?
 
First file a non-payment thing with ebay,
Then forward the emails to paypal, telling them it's fraud. (special email address but can't remember what).

Other than that, You could say they have to pay for shipping, ask for a cheque, say the moneys cleared in your paypal but isn't enough. Then send them a box of bricks but write something like computer parts on it or something, so they pay loads of import duty on it.
