Fraud Emails

[247PSN]

Received some phishy emails from "paypal" saying I had money pending but had to ship the product first. Email does not look like a regular PayPal email, with multicolors all over the text, and some strangely detailed instructions which PayPal never gives via email, and somehow the supposed payer is still trying to convince me it's real and that the payment is nonrefundable (I asked him/her to cancel the transaction). So what do y'all think? Is it real or a scam?

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.
