PayPal account upgrade scam

A U. of I. student reported being the victim of an internet-based scam. The student was selling a prom dress on Facebook and received a message from an individual interested in purchasing the dress. The scammers claimed she needed to upgrade to a business account to complete a transaction, demanding $130 via PayPal and Zelle, followed by additional payments. Later, someone posing as an FBI agent threatened financial consequences if she did not comply with further payment demands. The student ceased contact with the scammers and contacted police.
