Hello,

 

I sold a computer on Ebay. A certain williams88901 wrote to purchase it, told me that he ordered the payment.

I received an email from support@intl-transfertalert.com asking to send them the shiping receipt to get my money afterwards.

 

Is this the normal procedure ? I can't see any movement in my account on the Paypal website...

 

Thank you for your answer

Sounds like a scam > read this and see if any of it fits.

 

THIS IS A TYPICAL SCAM.

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.

Most scams originate from Nigeria and people there cannot even own a paypal account.

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.

Hi vrdjnsqfgioamer

 

Report the buyer to Ebay and block them on your block bidders list.

No its not normal procedure.

 

Open a dispute on Ebay for payment not received to get your fees back

 

When u get paid u will see the payment in your account and will receive a confirmation email from ppal

Never ship an item until u see cleared payment in your account
