This is true I was selling a small thing for R250 and this person said lets do PayPal and than said I must pay the R1000 in a ewallet to release the funds . I also got a fake email where I reply on where it came back and said it was the new way now or I will get legal problems.
So I went to PayPal and saw no activity on my account so I WhatsApp this person back and said there is a investigation on this transaction never heard of them again.
