I would like to check from paypal experts if this is a legit email from Paypal. I was going to send an item to a buyer who said he has already transferred the money via Paypal but it will only go through when evidence of shipping has been sent. The email is from PayPal transfer alert @ usa Dear Valued Customer,
You have an Instant Payment of SG:$37.90 to your PayPal account . (I removed the email accounts.)
This PayPal Payment has been deducted from the buyer's account but will only be credited after the purchased goods has been shipped & send us the Shipment tracking number & receipt . You can now go and ship out the buyer's merchandise and send the tracking number to us. Buyer's Shipping Address : Name : Johan <removed> Address : <removed> Zip Code : <removed> State :<removed> Country : Malaysia The payment has been successfully made but due to security reason we have to receive the shipment tracking number before transfer is processed. This new measure we are taking to protect both our sellers and buyers against fraudulent customers.This PayPal® payment has been deducted from the buyer's account and has been "APPROVED" but will not be credited to your account until the shipment reference/tracking number is sent to us for shipment verification so as to secure both the buyer and the seller.
** PLEASE NOTE**
Once shipment has been verified and the tracking number sent to us, You will receive a "Confirmation Email" from PayPal® informing you that the money has been credited,Which usually takes 6-12hrs. Thank you for using PayPal!
The PayPal Team
