last week, I recieved a payment from someone for a large amount and i wasnt sure why, so i asked them why they sent it and they said they didnt send it to me, but i know they did, so i had planned on spending it! and then today they sent me an email saying they sent it to me so i could send it back to them using Western Union!
What should I do, spend it or what, this person is acting crazy i mean denying it and now saying they sent it??? What should I do?

Contact your bank and Pay Pal. This sounds like a fraud. I wouldn't spend the money but you should contact your bank and Pay Pal along with the police just to cover yourself.

This is a scam. Don't do anything with the money at all. In a few days, probably, PayPal will discover that the money is from a fraudulent account with credit card scam. They want you to withdraw the money, send it via Western Union (which means you cannot recover it), and then PayPal will demand that you refund the money because it was stolen to begin with. You should contact PayPal immediately and report the fraud, including the emails you received. But don't touch the money!

I wholeheartedly agree....contact Paypal first and let them negotiate what the proper steps should be. Under no circumstances should you touch anything! It totally sounds like a scam to me.

you should use a paypal purchase now button or attempt a checkout button. i imagine the check out button will artwork more suitable positive because it lets them use there paypal account or a mastercard. both a purchase now or checkout button will artwork.
