Scam ?

[Tamika25]

Does this email look like a scam ? Unsure You have received a PayPal Payment of $550.00 AUD from (persons name ) . A Temporary Hold Has Been Placed On This Transaction! As mentioned in the receipt of Payment and as per the new PayPal Payment policy for international transactions involving huge amounts, we have fully debited the total amount (above) from the buyer's account which includes the shipping fees charges. In order to complete this transaction and get the funds approved in your account. We will need you to have the merchandise shipped to the address provided on the notification slip and send us a Scanned Copy/Photograph of the shipment receipt issued to you at the post office (in .JPG Format). NOTE: This is important as a security measure to ensure safety of this transaction.

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/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.
