Is this a scam?

Believe I'm being scammed by a buyer on gumtree. A confirmation of money sent purporting to be PayPal came from this address <removed> Is this legit? I have not received funds and the email went into my spam so I'm very suspicious!!

Hi @David7775,

 

This definitely sounds like a scam. You should always log in to your account directly at www.paypal.com to ensure the payment is in your account. Even if it's on hold, it will show there.
