Here is the email can someone please give opinion From: Date: August 23, 2019 at 4:51:49 AM PDT To: Subject: ***YOU WILL BE CREDITED ON DELIVERY DAY*** Dear Juliana Wells, We got a mail from your buyer asking about a transaction on OfferUp, PayPal customer's center received a shipping reference number from Juliana, We have sent this mail to acknowledge the receipt of your mail and reference code included and to make you aware that we are tracking the package and it’s yet to be delivered as at the time of this email. Your money is being processed to be credited after thorough verification of the reference number you have given to us. Please note that the money has been deducted from the buyers account and cannot be returned. This is a security measure to protect both buyers and sellers. Nevertheless, please allow enough time for verification due to the majorities of customers we attend to and you shall receive a mail from our representative confirming your payment and should there be any changes from the buyer you shall be informed accordingly to avoid discrepancies whatsoever. We hope to serving you better.

Sounds like this scam, read it and see.........................

 

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.

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.
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.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
