Scam

[Jackzets]

I recently sold something on eBay, I got severel emails from 'paypal' saying £900 has been sent to my PayPal account. I'm fully aware of the fact that when money is 'pending' it says in is pending on the app. This money didnt. I sent out what a sold to the buyer and haven't had a response since, he provided a number on these fake PayPal emails and I've called it and now doesn't ring. Is there a way of actually getting this money I was supposed to get or am I being unrealistic? Thanks in advance!

He thought he has been paid,it turns out to be a fake email.

Mail fraud is what this sounds like,you can file with USPS fraud division

The person sending the item through mail system did not commit fraud.

The request for money was not through mail system.

Therefore, no mail fraud.
