root42 on Nostr: Just so you know: If you get unexpected money from someone and they write to you ...
Just so you know: If you get unexpected money from someone and they write to you "sorry, used the wrong email, can you please send it back?" it's probably a scam. This is currently happening to me, but Soulsister was aware enough to point this out. The scam runs as follows: they send money via buyer's protection, you refund from your own funds/they send you an invoice and then they open a case in PayPal and get their money back, too. So be careful! Will post updates here. #paypal
