100% SCAM, they won't send you anything but fake paypal emails that tell you to send the gift card code first before you are paid....you never are.

Was his name rob by any chance??? I'm having the same issue, he wants me to get a £50 Google play card to 'receive' the payment. All seems so dodgy.

Its an ongoing SCAM, they will send you fake paypal emails telling you that you have to supply the gift card code before being paid.

You never pay any upfront fee as a seller.

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

You would certainly never have to send funds 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.

He is trying to do it to me he has his name as Richard [removed] then he spells his name [removed] on his Google chat trying to say that where he is from doesn't sell Google play cards and I need to get it to receive my 5000 weekly and says he pays 5 other girls the same amount weekly says he owns a company and he is rich and wants to help single mothers and people that r struggling he is ripping people off

[Danibaby316]

Yoy would thinks huh? But Some people r falling for it! I can't believe it! There are reviews about this same guy. Same everything except his name bc he switches that up. He targets young naive girls and elderly women.
