I believe someone is trying to scam me with a transaction fee.

Hi everyone,

I've currently got someone messaging me on Instagram who's saying she has a pending transaction on PayPal of £5000, it is apparently waiting on the transaction fee to be paid as she's sending from a "Merchant Account" and it requires £150 to be sent from my end for the payment to be processed.

Since I don't have a Merchant Account I thought I'd best off asking here.

Thanks!

Hello @CMDH,

Welcome to the PayPal community and thank you for your post.

This is a scam and I would advise you to stop engaging with this person.
