Hello,
My friend owed me some money so I asked him to send it me via PayPal. He's done it via my mobile number. I've done it before as a sender but I've never received the money via mobile. I've gone into the text message to claim the funds yet there is zero acknowledgement all over my PayPal that a payment was ever made? He has assured me he has paid on his side?
Attached images are proof of the process. Any help?
