Thanks for sharing this info. However, I might suggest that it might be a good idea to double check on responses from Nigeria. This place is famous for many scams. Seller beware!

Paypal does not hold payments in lieu of receiving tracking numbers. Whatever e-mail you received that looked like it was from Paypal, was in fact a forgery.

If you shipped it by Fed Ex, you should have been contacting them to cancel the shipment, not Paypal. More than likely, they now have your item.

Hard lesson to learn, but hopefully in the future you will be wiser because of it.

Anyone receiving a text message from the number +1 (661) 513-3285 or email from masonruth9@gmail.com, it is a scam. I have an ad posted for a phone for sale, and this person contacted me wanting me to ship the phone to an address in Nigeria and offering me $100 more than my asking price and insisting to use Paypal for payment. The person said that they could not use email transfer for the money, due to 'issues' they were having with it. Beware of emails or text messages from this person!
