I have to sell a laptop, the buyer sent me the money via paypall, but the money did not enter the application, I only received an email with payment and that the money would enter after I deposit the package in the mail, and I have to send the number to an email tracking, can anyone help me ???? I want to know if it's a scam or not? Is that what needs to be done? Do I have to send to that email sent by paypal the tracking number from the package?
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/spam folders.
You will get/got a "fake" email that looks as though it is from paypal.....it isn't because they don't have a Paypal account and have no intention of paying you. It will say the buyer has paid ...you won't have been paid. They will tell you that the payment is released when you provide paypal with a tracking/shipping number......this won't happen.
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. Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.
Advice is voluntary. Kudos / Solution appreciated.
