is this a scam?
Hello,
A woman who actually seems very credible to me wanted to transfer money to Paypal and sent me a screenshot that said I should do something with 50€. I don't understand exactly what (I'm trying to attach it).
Is this a scam or is this normal? Because I've never used my PayPal account and have never had any money in it (I don't have a bank account linked either).
Many thanks in advance, LG
Turn your brain on.
Why would a person want to transfer such a high sum to another – without knowing it?
This is a classic fraud. You are accustomed to wanting to transfer a lot and need much less money for it, in this case 50 dollars transaction costs.
They send the 1000 people, when 30 of these 50 Euros pass, they made a very nice gratitude – without really having to do something.
This mash is called prepayment – fraud. To get something, you have to pay first. Used in different contacts:

The Prepayment – Fraud also works via gift cards (Stream, Amazon, Apple etc)

Yeah, keep thinking.
The screenshot was edited. Right sloppy even. There was neither font nor size nor formatting.
Who has done this does not know how to store and edit it realistically, but has the pending in nem wahlose image processing program…. Text over.
For what? Why?
Nah, that’s a scam when you’re on it, she’s sure you’re supposed to buy something for her, and if you do that, she and the money disappeared without trace
Question:
Do you also believe in fairies, elves and unicorns?
Still plumper can’t fail a fraud attempt.
And I bet you’re still minor and therefore cannot have a PayPal account at all, that will be fun at some point.
I also always transfer women from the internet money because they find me so horny is definitely legit.
You better leave your fingers away.
