Pending payment

[gillie88]

Hi

I normally only use paypal to make payments but I've recently sold something and the buyer is wanting to pay using paypal. I reveived an email saying the funds have been deducted from them but they aren't in my account and he has since emailed me saying I need to buy steam vouchers and provide the info to paypal before the funds will be released. This seems suspect to me, am I right to now ignore this and put it down to being a scam.

Yep 100% scam, no funds in balance = you have not been paid and paypal certainly won't tell you to send gift vouchers especially from another company.
