Pamela Griffin
Complaint 143162 Details

I entered the $1 because it would not submit without a dollar amount. It's really $0.
Pamela Griffin has been trying to steal my ring listed on craigslist.  Besides the warnings about overseas transactions, I found her address on ScamBook, thank you! and decided to play along. She was prepared to pay asking price $700, plus $55 shipping, using PayPal, even went up another $50 when I forwarded an email showing her someone was offering more. He's another I will report shortly! I have reported the fake emails from PayPal to PayPal, and have registered a complaint with IC3, but want to send name and her email address to you.  She has been quite blatant in trying to get me to send the ring. I even told her that usps will not ship jewelry to Nigeria.  She tried to get me to try Fedex, or send as a document, registered mail, by usps. Also, I said I was very disappointed that the funds "could not be released" until the shipping tracking was working because I have no money to ship. When I said I thought we should give up, her response was "What about my money???? already deducted!" At least I didn't have to keep a straight face when I replied that I thought as her buyer protection, those funds could not be released until item shipped.  Said she would check and get back to me "very good" Monday.(tomorrow) I have all her emails, if she's even a she, and will forward whatever you want or need.  One "official" one said I should not contact PayPal by phone, "too busy with all the transactions." And of course, there has never been any money put in my account, restricted or otherwise. The actual fake PayPal email was sent on 8/2/12, but she had started the day I signed up, a week ago. I have since learned that Nigerian scams keep evolving, and are run by ruthless gangs. The PayPal email looked somewhat convincing. Another said funds would not be released into my account until shipping tracking registered. It's contents:
