To spot a PayPal scammer, watch for classic red flags. They may overpay and ask you to refund the difference, or send a fake “PayPal payment confirmation” email that isn’t from PayPal. They often pressure you to ship before the payment shows as “Completed” in your PayPal account. Be careful with “Friends and Family” requests for purchases, since it removes buyer protection. Confirm the transaction inside PayPal, not from screenshots. Check the shipping address matches the PayPal order details. Avoid clicking links in emails; log in directly. Use tracking and signature confirmation for high-value orders. If something feels rushed or unusual, pause and verify.
