Why is PayPal asking me to send them money and is this a scam?

They said that they needed money to change my account from a personal to a business account then they needed money for certification fee and now they need money for a tax, it says everything I’ve sent them will be sent back but they keep asking for more, they are using the (<Removed>) (had to put it like that so it would let me post) email so for that it looks legit but I can’t tell and I’m really skeptical, can someone help me understand please because it seems impossible to get ahold of PayPal

Total scam, you don't send money to be paid as there are no charges for upgrading accounts or for any taxes paid by the seller direct to the buyer.

You are getting scam paypal emails.
