I believe some one is trying to scam me

[Mrmrsvannhall]

I was recently doing a deal with a customer at the end they told me they worked offshore. And had to arrange a couriour 

then received mail from PayPal saying money was in account but could not withdraw until I paid the for the parcel company 

I was not happy with this so I sent a email to PayPal who said don’t worry your money is safe and once I paid the £400 for the 

transport of goods they could release money.  Is this possible I think it’s a scam so done nothing photos of email from pay pal

THIS IS A TYPICAL PAYPAL SCAM.

They encourage you to use paypal and may ask you to send the item internationally. They don't quibble on cost and may also say they can't view the item as they are disabled or working abroad etc etc but they will arrange a shipping agent to collect it.

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.

If the item requires shipping the 'fake' paypal email will tell you that the buyer has paid for the item + shipping costs but you must send those shipping costs to the courier/ shipping agent via western union, moneygram or walmart etc BEFORE the funds are released to you.
They are not interested in the item, they just want the western union etc funds and you will never see money in your paypal balance.

They also threaten legal action...have a laugh at that one and ignore it as its rubbish.
Paypal NEVER tell you to send an item before the payment is showing in your paypal account.
Paypal NEVER expect you to use a rival money transfer service eg Moneygram or Western Union etc.

Also their is no seller protection on paypal for any type of motor vehicle or item that is collected by the buyer.
Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.
