I just received $500 on my account from someone I don’t know

Someone named Angel <removed> sent me $500 on my PayPal account. I don’t sell anything so there’s no reason for the money. I haven’t done anything because I’m afraid this is a scam. I don’t want the money. What do I do?

If you are being asked to “Accept the money” on the summary page, don’t. Hit the bell icon at the top menu of your PayPal account to message customer service.

Thanks! I’ll do that!

I did get in touch with customer service, as per advise. I just told them the whole situation and they told me what to do to resolve the issue.
