hello people,

 

as i understand invoices are only for the buyer's but i was selling him a couple of items on a 3rd party application.

 

so i recieved an email saying that i have recieved an invoice for 40$ which was the amount decided between us, and that invoice was marked as paid ?

 

 

 

A ScreenShot of the invoice ( info hidden for privacy purposes.)

 

and at the bottom of that invoice said that money was a gift? so can anyone shed some light onto this ? cause i have never used invoices before

Hi MustafaAldulaim

 

Its a scam

Sellers send invoices not buyers

Buyers pay invoices not sellers

My guess is that your customer was using the invoicing tool incorrectly to track something that they had purchased.
