recieving money

[ALF1114]

I am trying to recieve mobey for the first time thru paypal. The buyer who seems to be a pro at this took my email address libkes to paypal and said he would transfer the money. I then recieved an email tht said it was from paypal saying for me to message my shipping confirmation to this chat link and my money would be put in my paypal account. But when i go to my account no activity shows up. Is this a fake email? What if i ship it and send confirmation and the money doesnt transfer?

THIS IS A 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 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.

Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.
