Hi, I've received an email saying they are from Paypal but the email says '[removed] they also said I need to purchase a gift card first before receiving the full amount into my PayPal account and to take a photo of the gift card and send to [removed].. Is this really PayPal or is it a scam?
I am in the middle of trying to sell my couch. I have given them my email, my PayMe link and also requested the payment to her email but my balance is still $0.00.
She said you should have received an email from Paypal, check your spam. The email from 'PayPal' was in my spam.
In it it says:
"This PayPal payment has been approved but temporarily on hold and it won't reflect in your account because we had to placed this transaction on AN ESCROW ACCOUNT AGREEMENT whenever handling THIRD PARTY PAYMENTS in order to ensure both buyers and sellers protection from online fraudulent activities."
and
"Details needed: Scratch and send the picture of the STEAM wallet gift card,Your name,Pick up date and time,Pick up address,Item description and Contact number
You have to email us the full details to our customer care line which is [removed] , so we could complete the transaction and get your account credited with the total amount of ($550.00 AUD)" I think it is a scam, but can someone confirm with me?
