    Lol... I used to receive those daily. Just pay no attention or cancel them. Some suckers actually do pay them.

    I receive these type of emails time to time... Just Ignore them, you are safe.. or you can report their emails to PayPal

    He said He received Money Request to transfer Funds to other person, He didn't receive money.
