So, someone wanted to send me money and etc. I didn't had Paypal so I created it. That man send me, that he send me money, but I need to open my email and there was a letter that to get those money I need to purchase bitcoin for 80$, when I did it, he send me that payment is on 50% and I need to purchase more bitcoin. Is it a scam or it just weird way to get the money? Those letters looks like a real thing and it looks like that this man is using Square program. Can somebody help me?

Yes, it’s a scam. PayPal don’t ask you to make a purchase of any kind in order to receive money.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
