- [EU] Someone sent me 200€ through paypal and DOES NOT want it back?? Am I cooked or is this legitimate?
A user on Discogs received 200€ via PayPal from a buyer who claims to be giving the money as a gift to help with financial struggles. The user is uncertain whether this is a legitimate act of kindness or a potential scam, referencing PayPal's 'Friends and Family' scam where senders later claim the transaction was a mistake.
