what will happen if you provide your Paypal email is you will receive an "official" email from paypal confirming payment receipt. problem is the link in the email will not be to paypal but a scam site that looks like paypal and you enter your username and password then they have your real account info..... good luck!!
Makes total sense. So if I ignore such a link and login to PayPal directly, I'll see no transfer, right?
