This is true so please help me before adding stupid comments.

I sold some laptops on gumtree and the buyer asked me to send them to his daughter in Nigeria. He sent me the payment through paypal and i got an email from paypal saying that the buyer no longer had the funds and i had to submit a tracking number to get the money. For all i knew the email was legit. I sent the laptops today via FedEx and called Paypal and they said it was a scam. Please tell me what i should do next. I can't call FedEx - are there any phone numbers that i can contact them on now?

I have emailed fraud departments. What else do i do?


MODS PLEASE JUST CLOSE THREAD

The US one is closed? Try finding one that is open, customer services must be working somewhere.

Or even the Nigerian one. I'm sure they'll send the laptops back.



It's been a lousy day, but this buffoon has cheered me up.

Thanks OP.

I was kinda hoping someone might have some contact details for them. It as alongshot but worth a try.

im sorry but that line made me laugh a lot and of course here in gd we have loads of contact details for Nigerian business men.

I thought the average OcUK poster was of at least average intelligence (bar Patient Keeper and Tango Sixteen), but you just fail, and have therefore failed us all.
