Alright Yea Forumsros, let's be serious for a second-- I just placed something a laptop for sale on LetGo, there were a few buyers interested but I went with the one who gave me the most money...
But there is an issue here. The address they've provided me is from Nigeria. I'm well aware that Nigerians are known to be nefarious for scamming Americans, as seen by this email screen-cap that I've received
The address checks out on Google Maps to be legitimate-- the zip-code kind-of drew a red-flag because it was also coincidentally one from Keller, VA.
With your permission Admins, I'd like to post the info they've provided and the numbers they've provided as means of correspondence.
send it. if you dont know what to do you with something so blatent you deserve to learn that hard way.
Easton Nelson
Yeah, he should have put "notorious" there.
Evan Smith
Please ignore my busted way of speaking, I just woke-up a while ago, it's still early where I'm at.
Jose Johnson
Yeah, my bad Yea Forumsro.
Right now it's very difficult to gauge. I want to be 1001% sure that I'm not about to:
1. Give them my email. 2. Give them access to any transactional information.
This is my first time selling on LetGo, and yes I'm well-aware of scammers this day-and-age.
Connor Walker
Clearly you arent if you think they are going to be using a fucking gmail account to send/receive email.
Jeremiah Ramirez
Do I have the admin's permission to post the phone number's they've been texting me with?

We hold these truths to be self-evident, Yea Forums was not created to be a board for Normal Fags, and that a board culture based on Lulz, being a necessary component to a thriving board, needs to be protected through adequate moderation. When threads become destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to post banana and to abolish the cancerous threads.
This chan used to be a megical place to me by this board hijacked by INCELS and pedos who post loli to not get the fbi on their front DOOR... ALSO BY DOING IT YOU WILL SAVE THE FORUM FROM PEDOS ! REPOST THE WHITE REVOLUTION

Your trolling is stupid and insipid, sit the fuck down because you're clearly a beta and not an oldfag. You reek of newfag.
So, I want to know the truth-- should I send this laptop or not? It wants me to check my PayPal account, and I just did. There are no incoming/pending transactions but they are also not on the potential Nigerian scammer-list. It's the fact that there are several red-flags here, it's not paranoia, it's legit confusion.
Jacob Cook
t.subhuman niggerian
Henry Anderson
They're pretending to be an official paypal something with a gmail account, user
Dominic Morris
usually those emails come with the PayPal(dot) me domain right, I'm not going completely bonkers here?
William Harris
If the paypal payment goes through, then it's fine. But if they "send" the payment multiple times and it never goes through, then they say something like:
>"well, since that isn't working, I can send you a money order"
Move on to the next buyer.
Cameron Ward
My guess is this is just a troll in itself and there's no situation at all.
Blake Carter
Yesterday they had wanted me to go to the local USPS, and even when I spoke to the mail-clerk not even an hour ago, she even seemed kinda weary.
Alright, I forwarded the possible fraudulent email to their phishing-detector, I'll keep you guys updated.
Jaxson Wood
If you get a physical check, chances are they'll over-pay. If you agreed on $500, they'll send $1000. Then they'll ask you to cash the check, and send the computer along with the other $500.
Then about a week later, the funds never come through. You're now on the hook for $1000, and they made a quick $500 and got a free laptop.
Nathan Robinson
They didn't send a check. Just PayPal.
Samuel Foster
Like I said, if they payment goes through on PayPal, it's legit.
Nathan Evans
Alright, I'm gonna do this for the sake of keeping this thread alive:
Wow sorry, what I meant to say was: The only email I've received from these buyers was that email, and the payment doesn't clear until they've received the tracking-number, do I get that upon check-out, or does that take a while?
Like, I don't know how this works guys. Literally have never shipped anything with USPS, let alone sold anything off LetGo before.
Sorry for shitty sentence formation, I'm just really anxious and half-tired.
Bentley Morris
You're still a fucking moron. You're like my grandma trying to justify replying to spam emails.
Wyatt Reyes
Okay, so I shouldn't ship it?? (.__.)
It's like fucking almost 9am where I'm at, I just need this money to take care of doctor co-pays dude.
Mason Sullivan
>Agba Mark >MrsPatrick
Sounds fishy. Try sending a box of dirt or something. You can get a tracking number that way. Then if the payment goes through, send the real package, and update them with the new tracking number.
They'll get two boxes, and probably be a little confused by the first one, but at least you'll be safe.
Justin Hernandez
This is actually fucking brilliant! Thanks man!
Caleb Brown
You got an email claiming there's a pending transaction in your paypal account You verified with paypal there are no pending transactions. The wording of the email is trying to pretend they're official paypal something The email isn't from paypal, it's gmail They're telling you you need to ship first before you get any money Your email provider flagged it as dangerous
Jesus fucking christ man

YELLOW TANTRUM
We (I say “we” makes me feel part of a group) hold some opinions to be self-evident, I ramble on and on but make very little sense. I will throw tantrums and hold my breath until I get things the way I like it.
Yea Forums is a place for stuff, but I grew up a tiny bit so now I feel stuff is bad. I GET REALLY SHRILL AND AND MAY EVEN DISPLAY SOME RACISM!!!
Section 1. Ban all PEOPLE I DON’T PERSONALLY LIKE as follows:
- STUFF I DON’T LIKE - SOMETHING I DON’T LIKE EITHER - MORE STUFF I DON’T LIKE - STUFF (I don’t personally like) - STUFF THREAD - THREAD WITH PICTURES I DON’T LIKE - PEOPLE I DON’T AGREE WITH HAVING FUN THREADS - MORE THREADS WITH STUFF I DON’T LIKE - THREADS THAT AREN’T THE WAY I LIKE THEM - THREADS WITH MORE STUFF I PERSONALLY AM AGAINST - SOMETHING (that I personally don’t like but in a different way than above mentioned, it’s things that PEOPLE I DON’T LIKE like and it makes me mad)
Section 2. Here’s some stuff that I’m not triggered by so that’s okay.
Section 3. MY MAKE-BELIEVE GANG WON’T throw tantrums anymore if Mods ban all PEOPLE AND THINGS I DON’T LIKE.
I’m not really anonymous because I want my identity known so I can prop up my fragile ego.
Carter Lewis
Alright. Got it. Not shipping. Thanks for your help guys.
Lincoln Peterson
We helped? Fuck. I wish more people thought i was helping them when i point out they are fucking morons.
Jacob Lopez
I mean yeah, I should've seen it a mile away, but I guess for someone gravely-ill selling their stuff I needed verification and some guidance because I don't have much experience with these things, not like that's relevant or anything.
James Sanchez
Also No website in the email No company name Email address zero hits in google Literally nothing you can verify But hey they imply they have something to do with paypal
