Dept fund release

[jxsmynn]

I received an email saying this after I had confirmed a tracking number “ We at PayPal just want to inform you that we've got the tracking number sent to us for verification. So will urge you to be patient till the verification process is completed. This might take up to 3-7 business days for your account to be fully credited. Your PayPal balance will automatically be credited and you will have access to the funds after we are done with all verification's Thanks so much. We shall get back to you by then once we are done with the confirmation. ” The email address was from <removed>. It has now been 18 days. Was this a scam or is the wait 21 days?

READ THIS AND SEE IF ITS THIS SCAM.

They encourage you to accept a direct Paypal payment and may ask you to send the item internationally.
No funds or activity of the transaction shows in your Paypal account and any emails may go into your junk/spam folders.

You will get/got a "fake" email that looks as though it is from paypal.....it isn't because they don't have a Paypal account and have no intention of paying you.
It will say the buyer has paid ...you won't have been paid.
They will tell you that the payment is released when you provide paypal with a tracking/shipping number......this won't happen.

Paypal NEVER tell you to send an item before the payment is showing in your paypal account.
Paypal do not tell you to send trackable, they advise it for selling protection but it is not compulsory.
