Is this a Paypal / Gumtree Scam
I advertised a product on Gumtree, I got an enquiry and he then sent a paypal payment. However, the email I got saying I had received payment looked fine but came from via gumtree, rather than directly from paypal. There was a button inside asking to click to claim the money.
I'm guessing this is Phishing for my paypal password. So...to give benefit of the doubt, I went back to the buyer and said he needs to go directly into paypal, choose pay a person and then put my email. So, he cancelled the previous one, I got an email to say so but again was via gumtree. He then made a new payment for the same amount, but was via gumtree again rather than paypal. As far as I know, you can't make payment via gumtree linked to paypal right? He must be just creating what looks like a genuine email and then pasting it into the email to me.
Am I right, or am I actually being very dumb? Both are possible lol
Cheers
