Scam?

Hi! I have received an email from PayPal from the email <removed> is this a legit email? They are asking me to provide shipping information before they will credit the money to my account. This seems a little sketchy and may be a scam. Does anyone have experience with this?

Hi @Luke191,

 

I'm sorry to hear that you've received what looks to be a scam email. What you've described is not legitimate. You would see any received payments in your account as a transaction, even if the funds were pending funds availability. Please do not send an item or provide any information to the fraudster who sent this email.

 

I hope this helps!
