Is onlines pay customerpayment a verified paypal user?

[kawid]

I would like to know if a user of onlines pay customer in gmail is a real paypal address? I wanted to sell a product of mine and this buyer wants to buy that product from me also the buyer wants to buy some gift codes which costs 250 euros. (The buyer asked me to purchase them for the buyer). And the buyer sent me at least 300 euros due to the gift code and extra 50 euro as a thanks for help. Then I got an email address from this onlines pay customer saying that the buyer has transfer me that 300 euros, but the money is held due to a large sum. I will get the money after I've sent a proof that I have bought the product for the buyer. Has anyone experience sth like this? What should I do? Should I trust the person? 

Also, is it true that there are extra charges for delaying the money receiving?

Thank you for your answer. I suspected it was a scam. But how do I report this?

Hi @kawid,

Welcome to the community!

I do understand your concern with this. Correct, this is definitely not a genuine person you have been speaking to. You will never be required to send any money or purchase anything before shipping an item.

To report this person, please follow the steps here. 

Thank you!
