Possible SCAM

I have a buyer who said they have paid money to my account, ove $28900 and said it is pending and will be released after i pay $2800 to a courier company to deliver the item.  I have not used Paypal much before. Never for a large item. I feel that once i transfer the money i will never see the other money. I think that even if i received the money that they can say item was faulty or whatever and ask for the money returned. I have also received a email from PayPal legal that said i need to transfer the $2800 within 24 hours or i can be sued 

I really believe this to be a scam

Hi GreenPastures,

 

Welcome to the PayPal community and thank you for your post.

 

This sounds like a scam. If they have sent a payment to you, you will see this in the recent activity of your PayPal account. I would advise you not to send any money to the buyer as you have no guarantee you will receive the payment.
