I received this email. Someone is trying to send me money. This email was sent from what seemed like a legit PayPal email with a reference to Square….i just opened my PayPal. I have not had one transaction. But I want to confirm if this is a scam! “We are very sorry your payment is on hold and you won't be able to receive this money until you provide the payment charges. Immediately you provide This payment charge the money will be available on your Pay Pal Instantly. The verification charge is $50 bitcoin verification in order to access this $5000 in your PayPal balance”
