My mom recieved a potential buyer on messenger and he said he was interested in buying a dress and he said to check our email to see that the payment went through but gmail says the email may potentially be dangerous and we have not recieved anything in my mom's PayPal account

No funds in your paypal balance = a scam.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.

I'd say it's a red flag if you're being warned that the email is potentially dangerous.
