I need to buy 100 dollar amazon card to receive money?

Someone I know that’s currently in a foreign country is telling me that in order for him to send me money I need to give him 100 dollars in amazon cards (the code on the back and a picture of the receipt) for him to deposit money into my cashapp. I even received an email from PayPal with a verification code followed by a second email saying that I need to deposit 25 more dollars before the money is available. I can’t post this inquiry with the email address so I’m just gonna split it up. <removed>

Hello @Grace_Murphy , I hope you're doing fine.

 

Be careful with those kind of emails. You may report it to spoof@paypal.com . Paypal will not ask you any deposit before sending/receiving money. I suggest to change your password (both for email and paypal ). And please do not click the link and provide anything to someone.

 

I hope this helps. If you find this helpful, make our community better by giving kudos or accepting it as a solution.

 

Have a great day and keep safe.
