Steam Card necessary to receive payment?

[LaChatte1]

Hey guy,

I have a question. Someone wants to send me around 2000$ to my PayPal account and told me this:

"my google account deposit so a steam card is needed to activate your PayPal account on my google account deposit so you can receive your payment immediately"

I don't think this it how it works...? He justified it by saying, if I send him a code, the transaction will be safe and his money can't be stolen. Idk, this seems very sus to me.

Please tell me

Absolutely NOT! It’s a scam. If you do not see payment in your account, you have not been paid. PayPal does not require you to buy a gift card and provide the card’s access code in order to receive your money. Oldest scam in the book.
