Hi PP Community, I received a suspicious email from ‘PayPal’ saying I needed to contact my last buyer/seller to ‘expand my PP limit’ in order for the buyer to credit fund. I have browsed through other posts and could see this is 100% scam. Just would like to share my experience. “ACCOUNT LIMIT You forwarded this message on Tue 01/11/2022 04:49 PN paypal notification PayPal Hello xxxxxxxxx, We are sorry for the late response. We encountered a little problem while crediting your account, you have a pending payment of $325.00 but we have a problem crediting your account with that amount because your account is not a premium account and cannot receive funds that add up to $325.00. Your account has a small limit of an amount that can be deposited into it therefore you are required to immediately expand the limits on your account to enable your account to have a fund maximum limits. You can take these few steps to expand your limit: Contact the last payer of your account Diamond Enterprise to send in an additional payment of $1,000.00 so that your account limit can be expanded, as soon as this is done, we will credit the total amount of $1,325.00 into your account immediately without any further delay. Note that an alert has also been sent to Diamond Enterprise in regards to the $1,000.00 additional payment, we will secure this transaction with high priority so that neither the payer nor the payee will lose their funds in this transaction. We await your swift response.””
