What does Interpol actually do?

PAYPAL FRAUD!, I have contacted INTERPOL about it, Help!?

• I WAS SELLING MY PS2 CONSOLE AND SOMEONE REPLIED AND THEY WANTED TO BUY IT THROUGH PAYPAL. SO THEY OWED ME £119.00 FOR THE DELIVERY INCLUDED TO NIGERIA FROM THE UK. SO I WAS RECIEVING EMAILS FROM PAYPAL THAT THIS PERSON HAS CREDITED YOUR ACCOUNT. I ALSO GOT AN EMAIL SAYING YOU MUST SHIP THE ITEM OR LEGAL ACTION WILL FOLLOW. SO I DID POST IT TO NIGERIA VIA PARCELFORCE. THEN THEN I GET AN EMAIL FROM PAYPAL SAYING MY ACCOUNT HAS BEEN CREDITED WITH £119.00. THEN AFTER 4 HOURS I GOT AN EMAIL FROM PAYPAL SAYING OUR MACHINES WERE EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS AND OUR TECHNICIANS ARE FIXING IT AND WE'VE PAID YOU AN EXTRA £220.00. AND YOU SHOULD GO TO WESTERN UNION OR MONEYGRAM TO SEND THE BUYER £220.00 AND WE WILL WILL PUT A TOTAL OF £339.00 INTO YOUR ACCOUNT. THIS IS WHEN I STARTED TO GET SUSPICIOUS THAT IS THIS A FRAUD. SO I CONTACTED THE REAL PAYPAL AND THEY SAID YES YOU ARE UNDER FRAUD AND YOU RECIEVED FAKE EMAILS AND YOU HAVEN'T RECIEVED ANY PAYMENTS. AFTER FORWARDING ALL EMAILS TO THEM. I HAVE SUFFERED A LOSS MY PS2 HAS GONE AND SO HAS £49.00 DELIVERY CHARGES! I contacted INTERPOL about this Fraud and I have not recieved a response, But does anyone know if they investigate will they charge me money or will they do it for free? Is it OK to report it to INTERPOL or not? What will they do? Thanks in advance for your help.

• Answer:

  LOL, are you stupid or what? Do you not discuss matters of uncertainty with your friends or people who are more knowledgeable? They would tell you that Nigeria is the hotbed of fraud or any country and should be avoided at all times. No need to contact Interpol. If you paid via credit card, then you can get your money back, however, if via your back account, then you should try and contact your bank and see if they can retreive your mony somehow.
