Hi, PayPal!
I've got an email,that somebody want to buy my item, what I want to sell. The e-mail write this:
Dear Balogh <Removed>,
This e-Mail confirms that you have received an Electronic-Transfer of € 460.00 EUR from Victoria <Removed> via PayPal MERCHANDISE payment service to your bank account. To see all the transaction details, read the information Below carefully.
Reversals: This method of payment can not be cancelled or reversed.
Status: PendingPAYPAL AWAITING TRACKING NUMBER
See the "Note" of the pending operation below
I've sent the item to the person, but I haven't got money yet.
I wish to ask, was it a fake e-mail? Or will I get this money?
Thank you,
Mark.

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 or spam folders.
You will get/got a "fake" email that looks as though it is from paypal.....it isn't because they don't actually 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.
Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
