Offers to sell you PayPal money at a discount or via untrusted platforms are almost always fraudulent. Common risks include:
: PayPal's Buyer Protection typically does not cover "cash" or currency exchanges, meaning you have no recourse if the seller disappears.
: A "seller" may send you PayPal funds from a stolen account. Once the real owner reports it, PayPal will reverse the transaction, leaving you without your money and the "purchased" balance.
: Scammers create fake login pages that look like the PayPal login to steal your username and password.
