Hi, I read in the forum that someone was also getting this suspicous email about being paid, but the funds won't show up in their account until they ship and send the tracking number. Here is a copy of the email I received as requested in the forum by support in the other message detailing a similar email as mine. The Paypal logo appears in the first blank box field below, but I can't get it to copy to this message board. Also, Monica Butt is the buyer, and according to this email, she is a verified buyer. However when I tried to request money from her via the Paypal website, it stated that she is not a registered user. Please let me know if this is fraudulent. I wil not, nor would not, send the item I am selling until the money has cleared and is in my bank account, but I would like to know what is going on and put a stop to this if it is fraud. Also, I tried to type the "from" field exactly as it appears but omitted the user id from the gmail address, and this was not permitted. It read as ______ at gmail On Behalf Of Service at Paypal dot com [e dot notification at accountant dot com] <gmail address again. Thanks!
