Hi, A person who was trying to buy an item from me, via facebook, ask me do i except paypal, which i said i did, but i said to send money via friends and family, because i want to receive exactly what we agreed on, otherwise i get stung for paypal fees. They told me that the payment is pending until i send them a code, which came to my phone. The only worrying thing is, message on phone says, "Paypal: (code number) is your password reset code. Don't share your code." I don't see any payment pending on my side, so i didn't send them the code. Is this a scam, because usually if a payment was pending, i'd see it, then except payment? Is there any other way we could use paypal, but they pay the fees?
