Scam, like any human activity, creates a special environment where information becomes a way to make money. The revolution began as soon as man appeared when many people suddenly realized how easy it is to manipulate perception and gullibility.
Posts with enticing headlines travel at the speed of light, offering incredible opportunities to make money or change the world. Every like and repost reinforced the illusion of authenticity.
And here he is, fresh scams from his native Facebook. You sell some product on the market, the buyer immediately writes to you, asks where you live, offers to pay for the product so that you don’t sell it to someone else, offers you to pay first, and offers you via PayPal. The humour is that after payment, the amount on your PayPal is frozen, awaiting confirmation. And then the buyer asks you to check the mailbox linked to your PayPal. There should be a letter there and you must confirm the transfer. Well, everything becomes smart right away. Clear. But they still try to scam him; if this option doesn’t work, they start asking for bank information since you trust this payment method more. But it was not there. More letters, more spam.
Well, the method is gaining popularity. Of course, many will fall for this, but let's be more careful.
