Hi all. I have a problem with suspicious buyer. He/she asked me to buy an Amazon gift card to pay a fee for Paypal.
I received a strange email .
I contacted the customer service that told me it is a scam! I have already paid for 1 Amazon Gift card.
I contacted straightaway Help centre, my bank, Amazon and the Police. I changed all the passwords

Yeah, PayPal would never ask users to do that to receive payment.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
