Hello @Brif72,
The PayPal Community welcomes you!
Wow, I'm very sorry to hear that you may have been caught up in a fraudulent buyer situation! Please keep in mind that PayPal will never ask you to spend your own money to have funds released. PayPal will also never ask you to enter your password unless you're on the login page. There are a number of ways you can tell if a PayPal transaction or contact is legitimate, which can be found on the PayPal website.
I hope this leads you to some beneficial information!
Thank you,
- Schae
