When you make a payment through PayPal, you are trusting that the person receiving the money is who they say they are. Unfortunately, there is still a small amount of fraud that goes on with PayPal payments. Here are some tips to help reduce your chances of being a victim of PayPal fraud:

-Use caution when accepting payments from people you don't know well. There have been cases where people have tried to scam others by posing as friends or family members.
-Be sure to inspect the sender's information carefully before accepting a payment. Make sure the name and address matches what was provided in the PayPal account settings.
-Never send money to someone you don't trust completely. If something seems fishy, contact PayPal immediately to discuss your concerns. They will work with you to determine if the payment should be refunded or reversed.
