Hi all.
On 15th july, a random person depositied £875.00 into my account. At first I assumed it were a scam, but all was genuine. Worried, I contacted the person by email asking if this was a mistake. No response. Then a day or so later, it said on paypal, Wire transfer to. Didnt know what this meant. Still worried, I contacted paypal by email, asking to return this money. Next thing I know, Im in negative balance of £800 odd?! Whats going on here? Why am I being charged for something that isnt my mistake, when all I was doing was the right thing, by returning money that isnt mine?
Any ideas/suggestions would be a great help! Dont know what to do next!
