i had a simila experience when i was selling a ring, i managed to get the post office to keep the ring because when i got home with the tracking number, the email was fake, so i almost lost a ring worh a grand, i called the post office straight away and they kept it there for me, the guy who wanted it was a nigerian, so i gave him sh*t on the fone, he said he wanted the ring for his neice, mean was he gonna get engaged to her coz that's what the ring was...just watch out for them scummy nigerians, they are pigs, if their emails look too good to be true then they prolly are, do not send them anything until you have been sent the money....
