Hi all, Wanted to buy some crypto but the PayPal app kept stating that something went wrong every time. So I thought if I had an actual balance instead of trying to buy from my bank then it would let me. I requested the funds to be sent from my bank, which stated it wouldn’t be until the 12th of July, which seemed very long as it used to be instant. I have just received an email with no design behind it, just plain text. Stating that I have requested a withdrawal and it would take until the 12th of July. It was from [removed], even when clicking the address it comes up with that. And I read that only emails from PayPal.com are valid. So I asked support on the app and it verified that it was not a legitimate email. Here are the contents: Hi Billy [removed], We're processing your request to transfer money to your PayPal account from your bank account ending in [removed].
