Good Day! I would like to ask help from you if it is true that if you send money to others (from US to Philippines) it is required to buy a $50 iTunes card for the Reference Code? Thank you for your help.

Not true. Sounds like you're being scammed. PayPal does not ask you to buy and submit a gift card in order to send and/or receive/see payment in your PayPal account. If someone really paid, you should see a record of payment fairly instantly.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

Buyers don't send invoices, sellers do.

If he has sent you an 'invoice' then its been altered to make it look as if he has paid but an invoice is to pay not paid.

Its a scam as you have already been told.
