Hello.
I'm slightly reluctant to post here since I'm not sure if the person is a scammer or not but at first it sounded legit and then it didn't again.
I had a post about wanting to sell a computer and I was contacted by someone saying they'd want to buy it, since I've done this many times I was not worried, at first the way he wrote sounded odd as it didn't seem to be native to my language but since there are a lot of people who write just as bad I ignored it.
I began talking to him and he offered to buy the computer for it's price + shipment, though I was not sure how much the shipment, I gave him a number that can only be used to transfer money, was he went ahead and suddenly I receive an email from Santander Bank PLC UK saying :
" We hereby want to notify you that the total amount of €200.00 EUR is ready to be activated into your account but before we can activate the money to you,you need to proceed with the shipment and send the shipment tracking number to us for verification.
Here is the delivery address below:

I had to send them the shipping code to [email protected].
I took a picture of the code, just the code, the rest of the information wasn't readable and seeing how sending an item to another country is expensive I thought I'd give him the benefit of a doubt, luckily the computer is rather worthless. After a couple of days (Saturday and Sunday) I receive an email from Santander Bank PLC UK saying:
" Congratulations! Congratulations!! Congratulations!!!

and I got suspicious of everything and stop making contact with the one that first contact me although he keeps sending emails as he already had the money deducted from his account trying to make me feel guilty for something I find suspicious. I usually don't get fooled as it isn't the first time, I usually take percautions unfortunately this time I have not.
Can someone please help me?
Thank you.
