Does anyone have to pay a fee to receive money? Someone Supposedly sent me $7000

[Kevo4875]

Someone Supposedly sent me $7000 and the screenshot sent to me shows pending on their side,  but I  can't see any kind of transaction of such on my side. Then I get an email saying someone sent me $7000, but I have to pay a fee of $50 dollars then it would reflect on my account. Is this real or is it A scam?

HI @Kevo4875 

Did you send this person a bill or invoice for $7000?  If the answer is no, and you don't know this person then it is most likely a scam. 

If the email was from or looks like one copying Square, you can forward that to [email protected].

Hi @Minion , thanks for posting.

You can't use Square to transfer funds to another person. As @Minion suggested, this could potentially be a scam and I suggest forwarding the email directly without opening any links.

If you're unsure about any emails in the future, don't hesitate to reach out to our Support Team directly and they'll be happy to check this for you.
