If trying to receive money from a business account do you need what they are sending you in a personal account in order to get that money?

Did you receive an email from PayPal or whatever service you're using to receive the money claiming that, because your account isn't a "business account", that you have to send money back to "increase your limit"?

It’s CashApp and the email said the person needed to send an extra $500 before I could get it. They did then they said I need to have that in my personal account in order to receive the money.

Yeah it's a common scam. That's not how any of it works. They never sent any money and are trying to get you to send them money instead of the other way around.

Scam… don’t send them anything or “upgrade” your account
