I am trying to buy an item on line and the seller asked to be paid through paypal. I received an email that looks to be from Paypal tellin me I need to do a wire transfer of funds to TDCANADA, in Quebec, to an account name HOANG THAI XUAN HO. Does this sound right? Don't want to be scammed?

polaris440,
Welcome to the Community!
I can confirm this is not an email from PayPal, and is likely a scam. PayPal will never ask you to wire funds somewhere else; we keep all payments within our own system.
For more examples of suspected online fraud, check out this thread.
Thanks!
Adrian
