Scames, PayPal

[OanaPopescu]

A guy said that he wanted to transfer to me a big amount of money and for that he needed me to pay in bitcoins a fee so that thoes money coul enter my account because he was sending them from a bussines account. And after that I have received a text on WhatsApp saying that he payed the fee and I just need to confirm that was really my account so that I could receive the money. The message on WhatsApp was send to me by someone who said that he was my Paypal manager. Is this for real or just scames?

100% SCAM.
You never pay any upfront fee as a seller or to receive funds.

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.
