Urgent help! Someone gave me 500 dollars online
So i post my artworks online on instagram.
And today someone messaged me that he wants a commissioned work.
He told me to make PayPal account, he told, he want to encourage. He told he can give 500 dollars rn for it.
He sent me 500 dollars from paypal, i don't know if he really sent me or not, but it said that i won't recieve it since i need to upgrade my account to a bussiness account, for that the senders needs to send additional 300 dollars so i can recieve money, i don't recieve any money, and i didn't even told them to pay, i kept telling them to pay after completion, but no he sent it.
I smelt so much sussyness.
I don't know what a thing about paypal, i only use gpay and all that
Not sure, but my card is also i haven't confirmed my card yet in paypal.
And now
That is the point where it got obvious,
It hurts though, I have never recieved any commisioned works and the first one i got was a scam...
posting it to make sure.
DM me if you want SSs of the chat
