FRAUD OR REAL?

[kaustub05]

I GOT A MAIL, WHEN I AM GETTING THE PAY FROM MY ONLINE CUSTOMER SAYING:-

You received a payment of $300.00 USD from (Sandral) but we have a problem crediting your account with that amount, because the status of your account is not a business user which makes your account limit as this amount is above your limit. We won’t be able to credit your account until your account limit has been expanded. Note: You have to take this urgent step to expand your limit. You’re to contact the sender of your account (Sandral) to send additional payment of $200.00 USD to your account, to expand your account limit, as soon as this is done, the total sum of $500.00 USD will be credited to your account. You’re to refund the $200.00 USD back after he/she sent it to you.

(((((I JUST WANNA KNOW IS IT REAL OR FRAUD?))))))))

You never pay any upfront fee as a seller.

Ignore scammers that send fake Paypal emails telling you that you need to pay an upfront fee to verify/upgrade/or any other reason to 'accept' a payment.

You would certainly never have to send funds via another payment processor/bitcoins/ or tokens/vouchers of any sort.

Any fee is auto deducted by Paypal at the same instant the remainder of the payment is credited to your Paypal account balance.

No funds in your balance = you have not yet been paid, even pending/held payments will still show in your Paypal account activity.
