Problem Accessing Links, Mails go directly in spam

Hello Everyone! I am expecting a paypal transaction into my bank account and somehow I got all of the necessary E-Mails that would assure me that everything is in place but they go directly into my spam folder and when I try to access the links in the mail, even though they are written in blue and appear to be legitimate links, I cannot access them. I never got a payment through paypal before so I don’t know if it should be like this or if it’s a fraud. Hope you can help me understand it better best wishes, Casi

If they are going in your spam folder they are probably fake....BE CAREFUL OF THIS SCAM OR SIMILAR ONES.

 

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/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.
