Hi I have a question because someone is probably trying to scam me. Someone was supposed to send me 5000$ on my paypal account. He is from Kuwait I am from Poland. He send me a link to bitcoin page and he said that to receive the money I need to pay some international fee by this link. Can you tell me if it is possible to pay fee like that?

No, it’s a scam. PayPal don’t ask you to send bitcoin in order to receive payment. Any PayPal fees are automatically deducted from the sent payment and you get the rest and you will see a record of payment in your account..
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

Hello @Foot20,
Welcome to PayPal Community Forum and thank you for posting!
I understand your concern about fees to receive money. Please be informed that you'll never be asked to pay the fees upfront in order to receive money. The fees will automatically get deducted by PayPal and then the funds will be credited to your account. The fee details will be listed in the transaction details. Here's the Help Center Article how to spot fake email.
I hope this helps,
Ayesha
