Jessica Pullen This is probably fake name Sent spoof e-mail confirming payment (via PayPal) for an item purchased on eBay. Based on that e-mail I sent the sold item via FedEx (tracking number: 77719287564) to the individual. Portland Oregon
I was contated by user named jessicpulle_2 via eBay. The user claimed they were interested in purchasing the item and paying for it via PayPal. I received a (soofed - as I know now) e-mail from PayPal saying that my item was sold and I received the payment of agreed amount - $473.
The e-mail looked legitimate, had all the active links to PayPal and eBay with all the correct information.
Based on this e-mail I sent the item (iPhone 6) to the buyer - via FedEx.
Here are the details of the shippment:

Shipping information
The package was delivered on Monday, 9/12/2016 and this is when I contacted PayPal as I wanted the payment released to me. This is when it turned out that the payment was never sent and that the transaction number sent in the e-mail is related to totally different payment, between totally 2 different individuals (one of them is most likely the person who chated me).
This is the PayPal transaction number I am refering to: Transaction ID: 83138597WG9094141 | Transaction Time: 9/09/2016 11:52 EDT
I reported the soofed PayPal e-mail to both PayPal and eBay. I was instructed to report this case also to: ic3.gov, fraud.org and here. I did all the above.
The personal information of the buyer is most likely fake, however the package was sent to the physical address mentioned in FedEx confirmation where someone confirmed receipt with their sugnature. Also, the phone number belongs to the buyer as he responded to multiple text regardin the shippment.
I have all the e-mails, texts, and confirmations availabe upon request.
