money requests

someone I dont know is sending me money requests for huge amounts of dollars. I keep cancelling them and I sent an email to whoever it is asking them to stop. Is there a way to block someone from sending money requests. It seems this person is trying to scam me and just get money out of me.

Sadly you can't block them BUT if you go to legal bottom right of paypal pages > acceptable use policy > there is a link on the word ''report'' to report violations of that policy. They should not be sending unrequested money requests.

 

Secondly you have the option to add another email address and remove your primary one so that they could no longer send you the money requests, if you want more info on how to do that post back.

yeah I will go to legal pages, I dont really want to have to change my email address as companies that pay me have that address on file. Thanks.
