You haven’t been sent bitcoin. Were you expecting 7K in bitcoin?

 

It’s just a spoof email. Forward it to phishing@paypal.com

 

Log on to your account and you’ll find no such thing.

 

PayPal does not ask you to send money in order to receive money.

 

Upgrading to business account is not required to receive payments and to upgrade is free.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
