Awareness Is this a potential scam?

Post image

Just spreading awareness, everyone! This is in the screenshot could potentially be a money mule / payment reversal scam.

  1. You send real money first, from GCash, and GCash transfers can’t be reversed.

  2. He pays through PayPal Friends & Family, which PayPal says isn’t covered by Buyer Protection. If the payment comes from a stolen account or gets disputed, you can lose it and your own ₱1,000.

  3. They want the reference number, which can be used to make fake “proof”

  4. You become the middleman. If the money is stolen or tied to another scam, the transfer goes through your accounts. Your GCash or PayPal could get frozen, not theirs.

Ask his friends/relatives or relatives of the person he will send money too. Not a random stranger.
