So my wife received $1499.99 to her business account PayPal… She uses it for Etsy. She’s freaking out, I told her just relax and don’t spend it, don’t send someone money back etc if someone asks.

We googled it and suggestions were to file via resolution center on PayPal, so we did. It comes back saying the payment is legit. She doesn’t have any invoice, orders etc for us payment.

Strangely the person’s account who sent the money is local. I’m half tempted to drive over and ask them if they sent the payment.

I’m wondering how best she should proceed.

Main concern is not getting scammed out of our money.
