Pay pal is asking me to send a refund to a money gram location after i sent out some shoes to virginia(??) note: i live in south texas, the lady seemed legit and was willing to pay $150 for 50 dollar shoes and said she was paying for shipping. First of all i never saw the money “pending” in my account. After i sent the tracking number for the shoes after i shipped them out(the lady said they were for a friend and needed them to be shipped before the second to which i complied with) i received an email saying i would have the money in by 8am tomorrow the lady then texts me in the morning and now she has to pay 175 more because my account was a personal and not business so the funds reciveing went over the limit or something like that, she payed an additional 175 and then i have to pay 175 to a money gram in order to receive the money. the lady said this happened to her years ago and that it’s assured i’ll get payed “2 mins after” i’m just concerned because if i pay this money that i don’t have i’ll be **bleep** over the people i borrowed the money from and i won’t be receiving any money at all for the shoes i sold here’s a copy of the email: “Merchant Sorry for the inconvenience.
