It's a scam. PayPal does not ask you to use MoneyGram or Western Union. The buyer has not paid. The scam is to get you to send money so they can pick it up and you're sitting around waiting for a payment to be released that did not happen. When someone has REALLY paid, you will see it in your PayPal account, EVEN IF PayPal put a hold on it, you will still see a record of payment.
Who in the world is so desperate to order a washing machine from Finland from Georgia??? Makes no sense at all.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

Hi @Marje1,
Thanks for posting your question here.
@sharpiemarker is right. This is a scam and this is not how PayPal works. we will never threaten our customers with FBI or anything like that. Please ignore any email that you get from this buyer and look for a new local buyer. If anu money has been sent to you this will be visible on your PayPal balance straight away. If there is no PayPal balance on your accoutn you have not received a payment.
I hope this information helps.
