Is the money I receive automatically put into my account?

[Tshap]

This is an idiotic question, as I am sure it is automatically given to me, but in my email it asked for me to claim my money. I screenshot it, but I blurred out the person's name and message.

Never click on any links in an e-mail unless you know who sent it.

Log into you Paypal account and see if it is asking you for any info.

Most likely, that's a scam email trying to steal your Paypal password.  Paypal doesn't send that type of email.

Forward it to spoof@paypal.com and they'll tell you for sure.

NEVER sign in to your Paypal account from an email link.


And, to make your Paypal account bullet-proof, visit the security center in your Paypal account and buy one of their security keys for $5.  It puts a separate, randomly-generated numerical password on your account that changes every 30 seconds and cannot be hijacked, even if the scammer has your password.
