Is this email from Paypal? Possible Fraud

[Nestorai]

Hi, I have received an email from "

I have an item in sold and I have received an email from service_pay.paldesk@accountant.com from the buyer, and I do not know if this is from Paypal. It asks me that send the tracking number to them. Here is a screenshot of the email:

I do not think is it from you but I want to make sure.

Thanks.

OK firstly ''we'' are not paypal, this is a user to user help forum.

Secondly I don't click on links I don't know but I think you will find its a scam   >>>>>>>>>>

 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.

Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.
