Is there anything I can do about being scammed by Nigeria?

I don't need anyone to tell me how stupid I was the question is, is there anything I can do?
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?

Unfortunately not, once it leaves the country you can't do anything

There's nothing you can do unless you want to fly to Nigeria, find the person, and sue them.

Consider it a life long lesson at the wonderfully low price of a used phone and smile.

  • Is there anyway I can get my money back or find the person who scammed me? I got offered a iPhone 6 for £200 from a company in London and all I had to do was pay some money and I d have it in a week (today) and now everytime I ring up the number isn't found but the man gave me some bank details and a name so is there anything I can do
  • Is there anything giving away free iPhones without doing anything? I was wondering if there was any site that's legit that gives you a free iphone and not the points sites cuz they only give very few points for each offers an I don't want to complete offers cuz they cost money and not those referral or sites that download apps and games or surveys I want something that gives you an iphone by just putting in info
  • IPhone being shipped to Nigeria? I'm selling an iPhone and This guy from Nigeria said he was interested in buying it and he would pay all the costs of shipping and handling. He said its for his cousin who lives there. He sent me an e-transfer but I don't receive the money until I have a tracking # which means I have to ship it before I receive the payment. Would you consider this a scam?
  • I think I'm being scammed on paypal? Okay, I'm selling this on iphone to someone on craigslist and they said they would send me the money, so a couple minutes later I get a email from paypal saying they need a tracking number and that they're holding my money in a escrow account, I don't know it just sounds odd to me.
