Question about the transaction.

[TomaszCiecha]

Hello, I have a question for you regarding the transaction. I sell one item via gumtree and the seller asked me for an email address to make a transfer . I do not have any money on my account and I have an e-mail message saying that the transfer has been made correctly. I am not sure about the person who wants to buy an item from me and I have the impression that he may be a cheater.

could I ask you for your help what should I do in this situation?

SOUNDS LIKE THE BELOW SCAM, READ IT AND SEE.

SCAM.

They encourage you to accept a 'direct' Paypal payment and may ask you to send the item internationally.
No funds or activity of the transaction shows in your Paypal account and any emails 'may' go into your junk/spam folders.

You will get/got a "fake" email that looks as though it is from paypal.....it isn't because they don't actually have a Paypal account and have no intention of paying you.
It will say the buyer has paid ...you won't have been paid.
They will tell you that the payment is released when you provide paypal with a tracking/shipping number......this won't happen.

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.
Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.
