I recently sold my new phone which I had not even opened, to pay my rent due to losing my job 6 months ago. £520 was sent to PayPal pending receipts for delivery to Manchester. 24 hours later, the phone has been posted and arrived and I've got no money in my pay pal account. Please can someone help me . I'm sick with worry

Oh dear, sounds like this scam, read it to check.

SCAM.

They encourage you to accept a 'direct' Paypal payment.
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 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.
