Does this email   service @ paypal.com  <service @ intlpayservice. com >   belongs to paypal? 

They ask me to pay shipping cost in Western Union bank from my own money, before I get money from the buyer.  Is it be legal? Will I get money for sure? 

 

Original text from this email.

This is a typical scam ..................


Paypal NEVER tell you to send an item before the payment is showing in your paypal account.
Paypal do not tell you to send trackable, they advise it for selling protection but it is not compulsory.
Paypal NEVER expect you to use a rival money transfer service eg Moneygram or Western Union etc.

Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.
