Hi all I am selling a motorbike to a person in the Phillipines. He agreed to purchase from me at $4,800 and i am required to send a sum of S$650 as part of the "transport agent" fees. Is this real? Email was sent from a domain called servicepayteam. I asked him for proof of transaction that it is on hold, but he refused, which is weird. Extract of email: "Thank you for using PayPal, this is a confirmation receipt concerning the transaction involving you and Weng [removed], be informed that payment cannot be reversed and we won't be able to refund it. You are 100% safe and protected with PayPal Policy. As mentioned in the receipt of payment and as per PayPal (Purchased Goods) policy, we have fully debited the total amount of $5,450.00 SGD from our beneficiary account which includes the buyer's shipping pick up fees. In order to complete this transaction and get the funds approved and credited to your PayPal account, as per PayPal policy you are mandated to proceed to transfer funds for transporting of your purchased goods to the "Transport agent for Pick-Up & Shipping", and as requested, funds should be sent via "Wise Transfer" with the sum of $650.00 SGD to the shipping agent and send us a Scanned Copy/Photograph of your Transaction Receipt (in .JPG Format)." Not to mention there is this message too, which is suspicious Appreciate your response thanks! Regards
