I had a business account 3 years ago and it's simply a few clicks to transform your account into one. That someone has to send you additional money doesn't make sense in my head. Block and move on will be the best choice I guess. ... View more

Hi I just sold something via Instagram and the person said she send me the money and I received 2 sketchy mails saying that the buyer has to send me another 200€ to upgrade my PayPal to business level. Sounded like scam and want to ask for your options. Email was from **removed** Mary, Sent you €50.00 USD We have a problem crediting your funds of €50.00 because your account status is not a business user which makes your account have limits. This amount seems to be above your limit so you have to take this urgent step to expand your limits How do I expand my account to a business User. Contact the last payer to send an additional payment of €200.00 for your account to be fully expanded to a business user. Soon as this is done we will credit your account with the total sum of €250.00 with a free compensation fee of €50.00 for this inconvenience caused. IMPORTANT NOTE An alert has been sent out to the payer in regards to the €200.00 additional payment he has to send to you, we will secure this transaction with higher priority that neither the payer nor seller will lose in this transaction. ...
