I received this message in a email & I was wondering was it a scam or not because I don’t understand how I’m expected to buy something with the money that was sent to me when PayPal says they’re holding the money until I buy it .Is this PayPal actual email or is this a fake scam email???? The email I received stated “ This PayPal® payment has been deducted from the buyer's account and has been "APPROVED" but will not be credited to your account until the shipment reference/tracking number is sent to us for verification so as to secure both the buyer and the seller.
