I received an email saying that money was waiting for me and that I would receive it once I gave them the tracking number. Once I logged onto my PayPal though to find what address to send it to or even where to put a tracking number, nothing shows up. Please help Thanks!

THIS IS A TYPICAL PAYPAL SCAM.

They encourage you to use paypal and often ask you to send the item as a gift to a relative somewhere often Nigeria.

You will get/got a "fake" email that looks as though it is from paypal.....it isn't.

It will say the buyer has paid ...you won't have been paid.

They will tell you that the payment is released when you provide paypal with a tracking/shipping number......this won't happen.

They also threaten legal action...have a laugh at that one and ignore it as its rubbish.

Paypal NEVER tell you to send trackable, they advise it for seller protection etc but it is not compulsory.

Paypal NEVER tell you to send an item before the payment is showing in your paypal account.

I am reading news articles for an online company called Grade-News. They are supposed to pay via pay pal after reading an amount of articles and accumulating so much money owed. I requested payment Friday or Sat. 

 

Does anyone know how long I need to wait for this transfer to take?

 

I am asking payment through a Net Spend bank account.
