Do you have to pay a fee to receive an international transaction?

Pretty sure it’s a scam but they’ve sent a gmail that looks legit. They said I have to pay a fee before receiving a international transaction. Can you confirm this is not true? Thanks!

@ellajuliek 

hello, a paypal account is international from its creation.

so yes, probable scam.

gmail is not paypal

gmail is everyone's mail. ( anonymous to sum up )
paypal uses his domain name.

 

you don't pay to receive money

 

report a fraudulent email to paypal:

it is necessary to transfer without modification or addition the email to spoof@paypal.com
