Who really knows these days. It’s all just 0’s and 1’s.

 

The link IS intended for sending money though. It’ll take sender to your PayPal.me payment page to enter an amount to pay and select payment method & transaction type: friends and family or goods and services.

 

Someone can scam though. Pay you with the friends and family option to give you a false sense of security, then you get a chargeback for unauthorized transaction some time later. Send an invoice or a buy now/pay now link to ensure your received payment is goods and services, then you’ll have a fighting chance against a PayPal dispute/claim or chargeback. If you’re afraid of hacking, get off the net or just do business with only reputable major retailers.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
