Read to the end to see what I did, it is so funny This is exactly what they are hoping for. If you have seen this process with a legitimate payment before, you may be quick to assume this is just another instance of the same thing. Their goal is to make you feel comfortable about this process. Once again, this is completely fake, but will be built to look and feel like an actual PayPal page. It will also include a link to a page where you can enter your tracking information. This email will explain that you have a received a payment that is being held in a pending status. In most cases it will come to your SPAM folder, and the fraudster will typically make it a point to ask you to make sure to check your SPAM for the notification. If you look closely, you will often find grammar mistakes and other signs that the email is a fake. This email will include PayPal branding, and will be formatted very similar to other PayPal transaction emails you may have received previously. The fraudster will then send you a fake email that looks like it came from PayPal. They will ask you to check your email inbox for a PayPal notification that they have sent the payment.
They will talk with you for a while about your product(s) to build your trust, so that you will feel comfortable with them as a buyer.Īt some point they will tell you they would like to buy your product, and that they are sending you a PayPal payment directly. The PayPal fraudster will reach out to you directly via email or some sort of a direct chat system. Unfortunately, PayPal scam artists have been using this procedure to trick sellers into shipping merchandise that they have not paid for.
