Invoice Scam? Did I get scammed?

I was added by some guy on the Gaming Platform Steam and he was interested in buying a virtual Item for 750€. I knew it was a scam but I wanted to get more evidence in order to reveal his shady stuff on my profile and elsewhere. So I gave him my email, he said he will send me a Gift that is not refundable under any circumstances, and btw, 750€ was totally overpriced. The item is NOT worth that much. Way less. But anyways, he sent me a gift, and I haven't clicked on it yet! I just seen it appear on my Activity in PayPal and it said: Rechnung über 750€ erhalten - bezahlt. Which translates to something like: Bill received of 750€ - Paid.

But how can it be paid? I never clicked it, so now I am confused and scared **bkeep**less because 750€ is a whole month of salary for me. Thats what I get for working one whole month... and I don't know if I have paid it! I checked my bank account and nothing was deducted from there... 

Anyone know what this means now? I don't know if I have paid it or not. And he should send me the money, but instead sends me a bill of 750€, invoice scam....

Well I have clicked on it to check it out, but there was no button like "Pay Now" , "Continue"

 

It was plain bill with no buttons except "print" on the bottom.

 

What the **bleep** is going on? Please tell me.

Under paypal Mainboard it says this: http://i.imgur.com/QbuuXXa.png

 

I am going to deduct my money from my bank account to prevent it from being lost. **bleep** this I aint gonna pay lol.

Ye found that aswell, but the thing I don't understand, WHY IS IT MARKED AS PAID? I NEVER PAID ANYTHING. NOR AGREED ON ANYTHING. And it says marked as paid... I just took all my money out of my bank, so if they want their money, they gotta come get it from me personally. I won't give my money away as easy as this. I work 1 month for 750€ no way in **bleep** I will give it away.

Its a made up invoice its marked paid to fool people unfortunately some people dont understand it and get scammed

 

Its made up to fool people who are selling anything to look like they have paid, then they send them fake emails supposedly from ppal telling them to ship and then they will receive payment!

 

Contact customer service for reassurance

Dont select any options hold on until u speak to someone or Twitter @AskPayPal or via Private Message on their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/PayPal

I dont see why u should have to live in fear if u leave money in your bank
