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!
