minus-squareDuenanlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·6 months agoThe sounds weird as a scam and makes no sense. I have seen the business account PayPal one floating around before as well. Anyway I was the one buying so thankfully that wasn’t an issue. I was more worried about sending the money and they couldn’t confirm it. Anyway I’m glad it all worked out well.
minus-squaretombruzzolinkfedilinkarrow-up1·6 months agoThe classic one when you’re the seller is they say they’ll pay with PayID and their partner will pick it up. Then they say they’re having complications with PayID and if you send them $1000 or so, they’ll send the difference back. I think it’s a failure of the banks for not teaching people how PayID works properly so now it just gets exploited by scammers
