I had the exact same thing from a man wanting to send £3000 but because it’s a business account and he’s out of the country I had to buy a £200 ‘razor gold card’ from his link first. Absolutely scam artist. His Instagram handle is [removed] but he changes his name constantly. ‘Business email’

Sounds like the same person talking to me. I knew it was a scam but I am always intrigued to see how they go about it.

Is this a scam?? I have someone too who wants to send me $3000 but he said I need to purchase a $30 steam gift card. I’m already suspicious about it

I did get an email from PayPal about it and a notification in my PayPal account. Should I trust it or still assume it’s a scam?
