Hello,
I recently placed a laptop up on Facebook Marketplace. I was contacted by a Facebook user (seemingly real profile and messaging), but the PayPal email I received was 1.) In my spam folder and reported as dangerous 2.) Required me to ship and send shipping confirmation (tracking number) before the money would be delivered/transferred 3.) The email has an email attached called <removed>.
I need an answer quickly as the UPS package with the laptop is to be delivered tomorrow. I have asked the buyer to send me confirmation of the PayPal transaction via screenshots and videos of the login/PayPal screen. I only received a screenshot of an email and then a picture of a computer screen that looks like it is a PayPal transaction. Please advise me on what to do. Thank you for your help.

Hi,
It’s 100% scam. Payment has to be shown in your PayPal account as received first. Even if PayPal puts a hold on the payment, you should still see the payment in your account. With a properly received transaction when you click it, it’ll say if you should ship or not. Providing tracking is purely optional.
Contact UPS to intercept package ASAP!
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
