    Recently, 90$ to PayPal account owned by me were transacted by one of my new client. I completed his work, and after sometime I received an E-mail from paypal which contained the following text:

    Dear Gabbar Singh,

    One of the benefits of using PayPal is that we make every effort to alert
    you to potentially problematic transactions. Our goal is to help you make
    sound business decisions.

    A review of recent transactions indicates that you may have received an
    unauthorized payment. This means that the PayPal account holder may not
    have authorized the payment you received.

    We would like to learn more about this transaction. Please log in to your
    PayPal account and provide some information.

    We strongly advise that you not ship the item until our investigation is
    complete. If you have already shipped the item, please log in and let us
    know where you shipped it.

    We have placed a temporary hold on the funds until the investigation is
    complete.




    Now my questions arise:
    Did that person sent me hacked cash?
    After receiving money I made around 15 transactions in 2 minutes, can it be a cause?
    Will I get the funds?

    I am very much sure that buyer has not made any issues. Because it shows Inquiry by PayPal in the reason box. I have'nt received buyer's message on Paypal neither on MSN. It shows the case was filed on 2nd October and the status is "Awaiting other party's response". In how much does will Paypal end the case if the buyer does not make any reply? I hope it is not that they will hand the case for whole life..

    I think that the buyer may have had his PP hacked into...That's what it sounds like to me...

    Yes, First of all check with yr Buyer, if he has opened up a dispute.
    Then simply do exactly what paypal gusy says...to get out of this mess safely.
    Good luck.

    Sounds like someone just paid you with one of the millions of stolen PayPal accounts out there.

    90% chance you will not get the money

    happy days

    It happened to me before. If your account always received money by email especially especially if you always receiving amount more than $50 from unverified paypal account . They are investigating whether a sale really occurred to avoid money laundering. You have to send a valid government issued ID and billing information with your name. Just tell them you already ship it and upload a receipt.
