The FBI team writes this to inform you that your buyer Dr. Trump. who complained to us bitterly over an item he paid you for, which is "HTC Tilt 8925 for AT&T” through PayPal online money order and got doing business with you through Craigslist.org, and we also interviewed him to believe that what he said is True concerning the allegations that you scammed him and double crossed him out of his money, which he sent to your PayPal account and also shows to us the proof of the payment made by him and since then the Report was so because he didn’t want to Continue with it maybe. And again the PayPal online money order also sent a report to us about you Providing their own Evidence that you wanted to use their service to Scam others and to rip people off out of their Money. But this will never happen since it has been reported to us. We’re hereby write to inform you that the Merchandise must be shipped as they told you to it’s destination being West Africa/Nigeria to your buyer’s name and Information without any arguement as you both was agreed before this problem came up, failure to do that will attract the real attention of the FBI team in East Harlem the City of New York to track you down because every information about you is with us and we also have your profile in our Data/Computer. So we strongly advice you to ship the Merchandise back to his son’s to the Information which was given to you by him. The FBI’s cyber mission is four-fold: first and foremost, to stop those behind the most serious computer intrusions and the spread of malicious code; second, to identify and thwart online predators who use the Internet to meet and exploit others through internet business and online transactions. Statement report made by the PayPal Team will be sent to you shortly.
OMG THANKS. BUT I FEEL KIND OF SCARED STILL.
There is nothing this person can do to you as he didn’t pay you and thus the transaction didn’t go through. And you have the right to make whatever terms-of-sale you deem appropriate (ie. no checks, no shipping, etc.). He is only bluffing and trying to force you into giving him something for nothing.
So email him back and tell him it is a crime to misrepresent oneself as a police officer or to misrepresent a communication as being one from a police officer. And then tell him that you forwarded HIS communications to the FBI and he is free to do likewise with your communications.
And then contact PayPal and let them know what is happening to you. Don’t contact this person anymore unless PayPal or a police officer instructs you to. And contact your local police department as I believe what this man is doing is a crime. They will give you further instructions. And as you are a minor, you will need a parent to go with you.
Also, you were wise not to give out your address or your phone number. Never do that and NEVER accept a check (they could be fake). Oh, and never meet any person (including this one) by yourself. Always have a parent with you for your personal safety. There are some very bad people out there who might prefer you to the product you are selling so don’t put yourself in harm’s way.
One last thing. You must tell your parents what happened.
Good luck!

Hello!,
Sorry to hear you are having trouble.
As far as I know, the FBI doesn’t use e-mail to inform someone of a complaint against them. They typically will call you or ask to meet with you.
If you have any more questions feel free to contact me via my profile page.

All he is trying to do is scam you, don’t play into it. Ignore him, he is trying hard to hold you to some deal that apparently did not happen. Next time you have something to sell, list it in your local paper, maybe the bulletin board at the grocery store and stay away from Craigslist or any other cyber site such as that. One never knows what kind of scamer is cruising for a score. At 13 years old you are not old enough to enter into a binding contract in the first place.

1) That’s obviously his writing, not the FBI’s. It’s written at about an eighth grade level.
2) If he claims that he paid someone, and they didn’t ship, then his recourse is to sue. In order to win he needs to be able to prove that he paid. Since you say he never paid, he can’t do that.
3) You’re a minor and can’t be held to a contract anyway.

He obviously wrote that himself. You don’t have to send him something he didn’t pay for and you have nothing to worry about from the FBI. I suggest you ignore him.
