i want you to know that the money has already been deducted from my account but PayPal has placed a temporary hold on the fund for security reasons..So all you just have to do in other to complete this transaction is for you to go to the azimo and send the 350.00 EUR to the shipping company and get back to PayPal with the azimo details so that they can verify the transfer and get the whole fund of €5,000.00 EUR released to your account without any further delay. Is Tha fake or...?

SCAM.
They encourage you to accept a 'direct' Paypal payment and may ask you to send the item internationally.
No funds or activity of the transaction shows in your Paypal account and any emails 'may' go into your junk or spam folders.
They don't quibble on cost and may also say they can't view the item as they are disabled or working abroad etc etc but they will arrange a shipping agent to collect it.
You will get/got a "fake" email that looks as though it is from paypal.....it isn't because they don't actually have a Paypal account and have no intention of paying you.
It will say the buyer has paid ...you won't have been paid.
The 'fake' paypal email will tell you that the buyer has paid for the item + shipping costs but you must send those shipping costs to the courier/ shipping agent via western union, moneygram or walmart etc BEFORE the funds are released to you.
They are not interested in the item, they just want the western union (or itunes or any other companies funds etc) and you will never see money in your paypal balance.
Paypal NEVER tell you to send an item before the payment is showing in your paypal account.
Paypal do not tell you to send trackable, they advise it for selling protection but it is not compulsory.
Paypal NEVER expect you to use a rival money transfer service eg Moneygram or Western Union etc.
Also their is no seller protection on paypal for any type item that is collected by the buyer.
Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
