I received an email with an offer on this item. At first I accepted the offer but later became suspicious as an email was sent apparently from paypal stating they were withholding payment until I sent a bank transfer to a courier for £305. I refused to do this for many reasons and contacted the buyer. I have now received a threatening email saying they are reporting me to the police and submitting my email address to paypal. Can you help please?

Hello @Bryn4,
Thanks for reaching out! This definitely sounds like a spoof or phishing email. Here's a quick Help Center article on how to better identify Spoof and Phishing emails.
Hope that helps, cheers!
