Getting an unsolicited offer to buyer a phone for $500 is extremely UNreasonable and a sure sign of a scam. Reasonable people don't just offer to buy a $500 phone from a stranger.
As the offer seems too good to be true it is also a sign of a scam.
A reasonable person doesn't deduct money from an account to pay a price. If there is a sale, the person sends money to a PayPal address. The statement is a sign of a scam.
The email apparently asks you to click a link to provide information. This is another indication of a scam whereby someone wants you to privide your financial and personal details so they can hack into your accounts. This is another sign of a scam.
Do you still need signals that this is a big time scam?
Hope you did not clickk the link and provide your private financial information.
If you did, you could carefully monitor all of the your personal financial acocunts and change all related passwords that you might have permitted to be compromised.
