Is this a real PayPal email?

[Copycathokage]

I received an email from somone claiming to be “Mark Craig” from Malaysia. They offered to buy my computer for $700 and insists that the money has been deducted from their account and keeps urging me to ship the item and email the tracking number; until then, they say the payment won’t show up in my account or in the pending section which I thought was odd. The contents of the so-called confirmation email were some-what different from my other emails when I’ve received money. The email they used was intl . paypal01 @ gmail . com. Is this an official PayPal email?

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

They encourage you to accept a 'direct' Paypal payment and may ask you to send the item internationally.
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.
They also threaten legal action...have a laugh at that one and ignore it as its rubbish.

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.
