Worried about being scammed can someone help me

[AA100]

Hi i requested a payment to someone because i am seling an item to them and they have sent me an email which is as followed:

"I will need a confirmation from PayPal to proceed with the payment before sending payment out to your account so all you have to do is send a mail to PayPal customer service via the link www.paypal.com/help to confirm your account and I will receive a mail from PayPal to proceed with the payment."

Could someone please tell me if this is a legit message because i feel scared that something will happen

Hello @AA100,

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

This doesn't sound like a legitimate message. If someone wants to make a payment to you, they simply need to send the payment to the email address registered to your PayPal account. The payment will show in your account straight away.
