Hi,
I received this email from Paypal, but not sure what it means or if it's legit. Can anyone help? Many thanks
Dear Merchant
We have received an order from Beeyuan Thang to make an instant payment of $1,385.00 AUD to your PayPal account. The payment has been made successfully and the money hasn't been credited into your account. We are waiting on the proper shipment reference number before we can proceed to credit your account and this is due to the large increase in the rate of the online scams recorded past years. We have modified and updated our rules and regulations as well as other policies respectively to keep both Sellers and Buyers safe from any related forms of scam/fraud, PayPal in conjunction with The FBI and The IFCC has invented certain preventive measure to ensure the safety of both sellers and buyers.
Such measure are: 1. Once a payment is made, Confirmation Email will be sent to the seller that the payment has been made to state the transaction details which has been sent to you. Also a confirmation is sent to the buyer that the money has been deducted from his or her account. So once you get this mail, You should proceed to ship the item to the address confirmed only by PayPal and send the tracking number to us. Upon receiving the shipment details, the seller's account will be credited after necessary verification. 2. Once a payment is made and it has been approved by PayPal, such transaction is Sealed (because both seller and buyer must have come to a conclusion before payment is made by the buyer) so therefore neither the buyer or seller can cancel this transaction or ask for the return of the already debited funds. 3. Failure to abide by these laid down safety measures by Paypal may leads to suspension from PayPal and further more invitation to an interrogation with the Authorities, That is why we are very considerate about the safety of both the buyer and seller.
