Hello, I need your help. I sell training plans online. I have a client who is in contact with me by whatsapp. He explains to me that in order for him to send me the money, I had to send him a $ 50 Googleplay gift card. That's what I did. By cons after sending him, he sent me a screeshot of his paypal asking "Loading ... 95% you need google Play because $ 50 to complete this transaction don't quit yet till you upload a gift cart" this is a fraud? It seems to me that to send money I never needed to send GooglePlay cards. Sorry for my bad english.

Hello @jade_cousineau
This is something PayPal will not ask you to do. There is no requirement such as sending an amount before you can get paid for something. Please do not continue with the transaction if you haven't done it yet. If you already bought the gift cards and charged them, please contact eBay gift cards to ask for reimbursement if possible.
Hope this helps. Stay safe!
