oh ****... wave good bye to that one...
if you don't want to put this out in public send me a PM, but i'm not sure what can be done now!
Did you receive any usable money ?
i hear sometimes the scam artist sends a counterfeit money order, the bank clears them, but 2-3 weeks later YOU are responsible to pay it back.
all i got where fake emails from bidpay (Sent by the buyer.. )
here's copy of the thread in the section that you cant see:

Mate,
Looks like you are goofing up with every step you take
Do not answer any e-mails or offer any comments without thinking about it. Keep posting here before you do anything else. Speak with Luta, krag or SSS about this and follow what they have to say.
Keep on FedEx's *** about this. Nigeria is aways off, not sure if it has to pass customs first. Involve the authorities if FedEx can't help.

Seriously though... I'm sorry to hear about that bud... and for your sake and/or sanity, I truly hope they'll stop that package and get it back to you.
They shouldn't charge you for the bad fedex accounts... but will likely charge you for the return shipping.

here is a website that pretty much describes the scams (your's is a classic scam) and what somepeople are doing about it. If anything the stories are funny

If he calls, inform of a wrong number.
Drop contact with him, and doubt his emails.
You can sell your card stateside.
Good luck bro.

Oh crap, i didnt relise that.... Basically +44 = 07.... Which is wierd because its a UK thing, i didnt notice that eariler.
I seriously say this is a really bad attempt at a scam... Its sooo obvious!! ffs who would get their mother to email someone if they cant spell a goddammed thing either!!
Now they are probably using "The guilt techique" They are saying stuff like "You have dissapointed me" Which makes you feel generally guilty... But it shouldnt work!
"I am a matured lady" Whats that got to do with anything???
Thats just my opinion. sorry if that post is sloppy i should really be in bed by now

First things first: Stop contact with this person! Do NOT answer to emails! Do NOT answer your phone if they call (if you do get it, tell them it's a wrong number or somesuch) and save EVERY PIECE OF CORRESPONDANCE YOU GET FROM THEM!
You are the one who has been wronged here. YOU are the one who is being scammed. Do you have their money in your hand? No, I didn't think so. Don't let them dissuade you into thinking you're doing something wrong. You're protecting yourself.
If you come out of this $140 poorer, at least you got your card back and didn't come out a lot poorer.

there's nothing wrong with selling overseas. i've done it many times, and will continue to do so. first rule of trading is to make sure you have the money before you ship, that's what the problem is.
easy answer to your techie.com problem is if you got one from techie.com when you registered.
