Few years ago a brother via one of the salafi yahoo groups emailed me begging me to help him buy some CDs he needs to burn islamic audios to give others and use for himself and then he wanted an ipod to download audios etc. He wanted money and help in seeking knowledge.

I felt concerned and i wanted to help for Allah's sake so long i had money to do that. So, after my college opened, i bought an mp3 player of like $50 dollars and then sent it via USPS normal mail.

But as the habit of the cheaters they want you to ship FAST, so this above brother wanted me to ship via UPS of few days shipping and he wanted an ipod not even any mp3 players. His request looked too much to me as i myself do not even had ipod in my life and his poor brother seeking ilm wants me to send him an ipod. Allahul Musta'an. and he wanted me to send via UPS of few days of shipping and i went to UPS store to find out and it was over the cost of mp3 player and i couldn't afford that so i said if USPS charges me more than $10 dollars i won't send it. Alhamdulillah it did not. So i sent it.

and as the habit of the cheaters they want to make sure you really sent the pack, he asked me to send him all information of my receipt so i did. and after i sent it. that brother emailed me saying he never got it and he wanted me to send him another mp3 player etc. So i never replied to do that.

and how i figured that was a cheater - I used to use albaseerah email accounts to send emails for albaseerah and that brother was in that mailing list and he emailed to that address again asking for some money help again with different reasons and he kept sending request to help him and send him this or that over and over again and of course i never replied and figured this is a cheater beggar

========
and NOW i have been selling via amazon.com for some time now like at 3-4 years and i never faced and scan or cheater so far alhamdulillah like the one i faced now. and it is from Nigeria and as i said to the post office lady, i must stop my shipment and it is a scam from Nigeria, she was like "another nigerian strike" so i knew it happened before as well.

someone emailed me via amazon to know how good what i am selling and i honestly said that and then he said he will pay via amazon.com but the order was not placed via amazon and everything was unusual but in my head i always seemed to find some excuse.

wallahi, i put for sale the night before and woke up to find the email to buy so i was happy and like the above cheater habit: he wanted me to ship with priority internal shipment and wanted me to ship on the same day to reach the birthday of his son i guess he said. i will copy paste all emails so you know and beware of it as well. So i did as was told but i did not get paid and they wanted me to send them my shipment receipt etc. said if i do that they will give me money to my account right away.

Like i said, everything that looked funny, in my head i found some excuse. Wallahi I made "istikhara" right after i got that email from the person to buy my product. so i said to myself all the time, indeed there is good for me in it as my heart turned to sell it to this person.

so i sent my receipt of the shipment and emailed the person etc and they were like they will send me money later and then i became concerned so i emailed. Today morning i got email where the person said, he wants to return my product as he bought wrong item. I am LIKE WHAT???? and he is saying he will ship tomorrow by UPS etc. I am shocked and i called amazon.com right away and i couldn't think of anything else, i became very restless until i found solution.

i cancelled my classes as i cannot think of anything else and then when i figured it is a scan - i became like numbed. i went to my sisters and my sister was like call post office to cancel the shipping. i called but it was of no help. so i called amazon again and the seller support said it was a scam and i should stop the shipping and contact the shipping company right away.

so i left house for the post office near me and then they told me to go to another post office, i left that early morning, after Fajr prayer till now i am here on this case, didn't even eat anything or do anything or concentrate. I applied to stop the shipping, O Allah, ya Rabbil Arshil 3atheem return my product to me, Please. Please make dua that my product returns to me safe and sound ameen.

SHOCK and sad................

It is the cheaters from Nigeria. May Allah do justice to this cheater and i think this same person sent me another email as well wanting to buy.

There were a lot of signs from beginning to end but Allah knows i ignored all by excuses that came in my head.  It was bound to happen. may Allah return my product to me soon. Ameen.
