Payments

[Hallzie]

Hi Can someone please help. I requested a payment and I recieved an email saying someone sent me money and is says I must send the reference tracking number of the shipment.. But the requested amount is still pending on my account and it’s says I must send proof of the reference tracking number where do I send that n how do I know the email is from PayPal since it says the money can only be available in my account once I have sent the proof of the reference tracking number

CHECK ITS NOT THIS SCAM.

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.
Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.
