I never use my paypal but I sold something online and she only had PayPal so I thought easy enough, lots of ppl use it. WRONG!!! I got the email that said she sent funds but I can't recurve them until SHE pays $200 to upgrade my account. WHAT?! I've tried reaching someone on the phone and can't get anybody. I tried the text option and the pertain was terrible and just quit responding and said she needs to pay $200 and neither of us can't cancel the transaction. This whole thing seems so wrong but there's not anyone that can help. What do I do?!?

You are receiving FAKE SCAM PAYPAL EMAILS.

That is not how paypal works.

She is pretending to send you money that you have to 'return' and that is how the scam works.
