Scam asking for a refund

[leon4uk]

I was contacted by a buyer who sent me fake PayPal emails and trying to convince me to pay him back. How to report it?

You never pay any upfront fee as a seller or to receive payments.

Ignore scammers that send fake Paypal emails telling you that you need to pay an upfront fee to verify/upgrade to a business account/or any other reason to accept a payment.

You would certainly never have to send funds especially via another payment processor/bitcoins/ or tokens/vouchers of any sort.

Any fee is auto deducted by Paypal at the same instant the remainder of the payment is credited to your Paypal account balance.

No funds in your balance = you have not yet been paid, even pending/held payments will still show in your Paypal account activity.

Also paypal never addresses you as Dear Customer, they always address you by your full first and second name.
