I think I am being scammed. Someone says I need to send them 30 USD so that my payment of 500 USD can be confirmed. Even sent a picture of PayPal asking. Please help is this true?? When I send them 30 USD will their pending payment to me to through. And are you able to reverse a pending payment?

You think right! It’s a scam. They highly likely didn’t even send payment and trying to scam you $30. Any pending, holds or payments will appear in your account if someone really paid so if you do not see a record of pending/holds/payments, you have not been paid. Emails and screenshots can be faked. Do not ship anything unless you see a record of payment in your account! The record of payment will tell you to ship or not.

 

PayPal does not ask you to send money to “confirm” payments. No such thing!


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
