Victim of fraud!

Today I have just found out I have been scammed and practically had a phone stolen.

Basically I sold the item on eBay someone bought the phone for 135 on buy it now minutes later I had a message from the buyer saying there was problem with buy it now so he wanted me to give him request payment from Paypal.

I had an email off Paypal saying I have instant payment of 170 GBP (because he wanted me to send it to his daughter whose doing work in Nigera) so I thought nothing of it. Fool on me!!!

That same day I shopped the item to Nigera £15 postage and I was happy because I thought someone's daughter is going to be very happy!

Today ... 2 days later ....
Had an email from eBay saying that the buyer (not really the buyer) as he'd been hacked into!!

My face dropped and I quickly contacted eBay via live chat and they put me through to someone higher up in the company and I explained my situation to them and he told me it is a scam if its going to Nigera and he told me to contact the police ASAP and to contact the post office to stop the package going through!!

Contacted both but they said they could do nothing - they cannot cancel the parcel nor could the police do anything really however they did put me through to the fraud action centre thingy and I had to explain what had happened, they said they couldn't do anything really but if the police wanted to contact me further they would do so..

In theory I have learnt a lot about privacy and security . And it's not to trust anyone!! Even if it sounds genuine or too good to be true which was in my case!!

Lesson learned - will not ship parcel until payment has been cleared with paypal !!!

Superdry hoodies: review!

Went to Cheshire Oaks designer outlet today after looking around on the internet last night, for a 'cozy' hoodie and I saw that Superdry had good reviews so went into the shop and saw the one that I wanted went to try it on and because my boobs are that big the woman's one didn't fit me, so I had to get a mans one - ended up getting Medium.

Even though i prefer larger fitted hoodies this one seems quite slim fitted on the arms which I like.

Overall the hoodie does fit the description 'cozy' and plus it didn't break the bank only cost £30 so pretty happy with it overall.

Advice for a girl looking to buy a Superdry hoodie (get the next size up or mans if you've got quite a large chest)

Thats my review

Thanks for reading -peace
