Am I going to get scammed?
I'm trying to sel my iPhone 6 on the app called LetGo
And I have 2 persons who both want to buy it-want me to ship it out to them HOWEVER they both said they would pay me first through either PayPal or western union, also said they would pay for shipping. I'm curious like could they somehow get their money back from PayPal and get the phone as well and just full on scam me?
A very common scam - they use stolen cards / bank accounts to do the transfer, then some time later when the theft is discovered the charge gets reversed or you get a bill for the money paid to you.
It's a form of money laundering, getting saleable/valuable good from stolen funds.
Get a money order from them… Its already been guaranteed so you will be safe
Letgo themselves recommend meeting in person in a public place, and paying/accepting only cash.

If it's western union, you should be fine since it's a money transfer.
Paypay can reverse the charges and I might be wrong but I watched some YouTube video where some guy said he had to pay a reversal fee (but this is in Amsterdam) because a few of his donators claimed that the charges were unauthorized.

I shipped someone an iphone 4 to nigeria and they sent me a fake email that my paypal was going to be credited, it was a scam and now my phone is sitting at some postal office in Nigeria. Simple question, is there anything I can do?
- I was scammed by people to use my credit to get iphones and now I'm in debt? These people told us that if our credit was good and they helped us sign up for two year contacts and they said they'd pay for the phones and give us $50 per phone. They said we could just not pay the bills and it would be fine but now I'm getting the bills. Is this going to f up my credit? Should I just pay them off in full? I already canceled the service and reported them stolen.
