Hello guys, I have a big problem. This is my first time to use paypal. Before 1 hour ago, I don't have any paypal account. So somebody want to send me some money via paypal to my normal bank account. And I got an e-mail, there was message that 99% complete and I must click some link about bitcoin and "moonpay" I can't understand and I don't want to use bitcoin, so I ask him what are this, but he said that just click. Is this right? The paypal use bitcoin or something like this? He said to me I did not click so he will report me to interpol. Is there somebody who can explain what's this situation and paypal processing? Thank you.

You are being scammed, ignore the person emailing you.


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.
