[LOTLEGIRL80]

SOMEONE FROM NIGERIA SENT ME MONEY AND I AM IN CANADA. I DIDN'T PUT MY CREDIT CARD ON HERE BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE 1 JUST MY BANK ACCOUNT,AND I DON'T SEE THE PAYMENT. DO YOU NEEDD A CREDIT CARD TO RECIEVE MONEY? PLEASE HELP.

Hi LOTLEGIRL80

People in Nigeria cannot own a paypal account.

When someone pays you you will see the payment in your paypal transactions.

Hope you're not being scammed here!!

THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING. I HAVE ANOTHER QEUSTION. DO YOU NEED A CREDIT CARD TO RECEVE MONEY HERE? AND WHEN YOU LOG IN THE MONEY SHOULD BE THERE IF IT'S FOR REAL RIGHT?....I JUST GOT PAYPAL 2 DAYS AGO SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND ALL OF IT.

When you sign up with paypal you have to link back up funds to it, ie ccard /d card /bank.

Then you have to have it verified and the process completed before things run smoothly.

If the money has been sent you would see the payment yes.

Read up on all information on  the paypal site its important

You do not need to have bank info or credit card. Google the email address they have given you and it will most likely come up on a scammers list! I hope you didnt ship them anything! Good Luck! Also the money will go into paypal immediately!

I sold several thousand dollars worth of product to gentlemen in Nigeria.  The one said he was on a business trip there and it turns out both have California cell phone numbers.  All three payments have said funds posted but I have yet to recieve any money.  The second gentleman would like me to send him more tomorrow for quite a bit more money.  Please let me know if I should carry on.

Thank you,

Jen

Sounds very scary!!!   Don't send anything until you have an firm understanding that you have the money.
