Fraudulent email

[Temp20240530c]

I have received an email stating - PAYPAL® is a revolution in the way money moves. It's a free app that lets you send and receive money with almost anyone in minutes by working with leading banks and credit You have a pending payment of £65.00 GBP We should be crediting your account now but we noticed the account has been limited and not a business account so it can’t be credited so we need you to contact the buyer to send additional payment of £100.00 GBP to your PayPal® account so it can be switched/changed to a business account and be credited immediately with £165.00 GBP into your account. **PLEASE NOTE** Payment will not be credited to your account until refund of additional payment has been refunded for your buyer protection so neither the payer or the payee doesn’t lose his/her money! You will receive a "CONFIRMATION EMAIL" from our PayPal ® Team informing you that the funds has been Is this a scam

100% total scam.

You never pay any upfront fee as a seller or to receive funds and you don't have to refund before receiving anything.

I doubt your account is limited and it is already a business account unless you upgraded due to this scam email?

Ignore scammers that send fake Paypal emails telling you that you need to pay an upfront fee to verify/upgrade to a business account/or any other reason to accept a payment.

You would certainly never have to send funds especially via another payment processor/bitcoins/ or tokens/vouchers of any sort.

Any fee is auto deducted by Paypal at the same instant the remainder of the payment is credited to your Paypal account balance.

No funds in your balance = you have not yet been paid, even pending/held payments will still show in your Paypal account activity.

I've just received a similar one never had before. Buyer supposedly sent £70 (for an item that is listed as £60) and was messaging me to see if I'd received it. Later there was an email stating the payment couldn't be accepted into my account and something about a £300 fee, which I've seen mentioned before on here. Obviously not from PayPal! Buyer a scammer, no doubt about it!
