Default Federal agent customer

Hello
Last week, there are a order on one of stealth eBay account, the customer send me a message told me he is a federal agent. My item is the copy item. the return address on the shipping label is UPS mailbox on my real info.
The package just delivery today.
"Is this legit? I can tell you right now I’m a federal agent and that wouldn’t be a good move. I have your PayPal info."
"I now do believe you think you’ve gotten away with this. I guarantee you are wrong my friend."
I don't know how to do right now.

Serves you right, why are you selling counterfeit items for ?

This forum doesn't condone people that want to get back on ebay or amazon to sell counterfeit items.

It's because of people like you genuine sellers have a hard time.

Probably a fraud trying to pull a scam on you. No federal agent on duty would write that way, it is way too unprofessional.

The same thing happend to me in the past, but with a scummy lawyer. He formulated his address like this:

Lawyer James Smith
bla bla street 30
...


I ended up marking his order as shipped, but really shipped nothing and waited until he opened a case ---> issued a refund and placed him on my blacklist.

I had no idea about his intention, but I didn't want any potential trouble at the time.

Don't worry, this one's a phony, even if he is a federal agent he can do nothing especially when your account is stealth.

Yep, he's too obvious.

"Hi, I'm a federal agent."

"Go f*** yourself."

Why the heck are you shipping with real life info as return address, P O Box 1234 works better.

Well I'd start out by saying you don't want to be their friend anymore. Friends don't threaten friends.

You would be surprised how many ambulance chasers are active on internet,buying and selling.
I sold some gold tone jewelry once to a lawyer,she said in the old days,gold jewelry can be 10k solid gold,so she wants to prosecute me as she is a lawyer !
There are sellers who actually received threats and letters from buyer who are lawyers

I'm betting he is a liar. I don't think they are supposed to make themselves known like that.

This sounds like a load of horse crap.

Real Federal LE agents wouldn't identify themselves over eBay chat. It goes against protocol and just don't make any sense.

If you were the subject of a bona fide Federal investigation of some time, you likely wouldn't be aware of it until the US Marshals or FBI came to pay you a visit.
