Hi, i am selling an item on a portuguese selling site and reveived a whatsapp message about it where this lady wanted to buy it and wanted to pay for it with paypal. As i usually don’t use my account i gave another IBAN and told her that she could send the money to that account. Then i got these e-mails from paypal (these seam like real mails, i’m still not sure that they are fake) and some messages from the buyer telling me that she had sent me 200€ extra and that i should send 200€ via western union so i could received the full amout that she had sent me. I thought this was wierd but did it anyway, then received an e-mail from paypal saying i would receive my money in a matter of hours. The next day i got another e-mail from paypal saying that the buyer had sent me some more money (for an insurance fee or whatever) and that i would receive the initial money, plus this money if i sent another 250€. Well i was fooled once but will not be fooled twice. Now the buyer is telling me that the money she sent me is out of her account but i still haven’t received anything. I don’t think i believe her bue the paypal e-mails look very real. What do you think?
