Fake email

[Leen87]

Hello someone is supposed to send me money through PayPal and for the money to get to my account I received an email from <removed>. saying the money is pending on the database and that I need to reply to the email so they can give me the step on how to complete the transaction. Is this true or the sender who is sending me the money is fake?

This is incorrect, and not the way PayPal operates. Please review this link for information on how to spot a phishing email - https://www.paypal.com/smarthelp/article/how-do-i-spot-and-report-a-fake%2C-fraudulent%2C-or-phishin...
