What should I do about unsolicited money request? Someone I don't know just asked me to send them $10. Just ignore it?

Hi @solfrio If you don't know the person who sent you the money request, you can just ignore it. You are not required to complete a transaction to someone who randomly sends money request or invoice. Keep safe!

I too had this problem. I reported it to spoof@paypal.com
Then, i logged onto paypal.com, went to View all Activity
You will see the payment request there.
Click on Cancel.
Print a copy of the cancelled transaction for your records.
Best of luck.
