Answer 1

It's already been done. Repent!

Answer 2

if you have a paypal account it is connected to a credit card or a bank account.  You can't open a paypal account without one.  But since this is an international transaction the worse that will happen is he gets the money back from paypal and charged a $25 fee, you get your paypal account deleted and reported to the FBI for internet fraud.

Answer 3

O MY, WHY DO U THINK IT'S A SCAM?? PPL IN NIGERIA CANT PLAY PSP?-- I'M NOT SURE  IF U'LL GET IN TROUBLE, BUT IF HE LAUNCHES AN INVESTIGATION- UR IP-ADDRESS (ON UR COMPUTER) CAN BE TRACKED SO DOES THE COMUTER BELONG TO U? IF SO SEND THE PSP!!!

Answer 4

First of all, you're full of it.

Second, you cannot hack your IP. Whatever your internet service privider is, has their IP that you're using and it is logged every time you log onto the net if you're dialup, or if it's DSL/Cable, it is logged at who the account-holder is. You may have hacked your OS, but your IP address is recorded. Then, of course, Paypal has a record of all IPs and they will contact your ISP and they will privide whoever the account holder is at the time the IP was record at Pay Pal. Then, you will be found and will be put in prison for fraud and electronic fraud and embezzlement amongst other charges. You will probably end up doing about 10 years in prison.

I hope you enjoy the $350.

Answer 5

Nothing can happen to you.Go shopping!

Answer 6

You will most likely be getting a letter from Paypal letting you know that they have taken the money out of your credit card that you provided when you signed up.  If the info you gave them is false, they'll probably find out which computer the fake information was submitted on and find and prosecute whoever owns that particular computer.  Stealing is stealing and just because the guy lives in Nigeria doesn't mean he's a scammer.  You are the scammer in this case.

He gave you the money, now you should give him the psp.  What's so hard about that?

Answer 7

My friend just got scammed through PayPal...she sold her car & used the money to buy another car, & now she has no car or money, so i think you should not be a jerk. But you'll get wat's coming to you eventually.

Answer 8

This doesn't make any sense. Scammers will try to send a bogus check or money order, this is the first I'm hearing of Paypal. Not sure I'm following you on this.

Answer 9

Um...

Right...

Answer 10

1 you have to have a credit card to buy stuff online
