I was selling an item and later recived an Email "so say from  PayPal" taht payment was on hold until I purchased £200 in bitcoin!! After checking with paypal they confirmed that looking at the original email it was NOT from them and was told to immediatly delete the email, invoice request etc. beaware if any of you get and request for a purchase from asking for a paypal purchase by courier.
