Fraud alert

I am selling a bird, and a woman or whomever it was emailed me and it seemed legit until they said they are gonna use a "AGENT", so at first I was like maybe its for saftey reasons on their part. I dont know. So I gave it my email and next thing I know its telling me I have to pay this AGENT 100.00 Amazon Card. No that was never discussed, I was NOT aware of this. So furthermore I got a fake "confirmation email" telling me I need to go to a Walmart store and purchase a amazon card and put 100.00 USD on it. To recieve the 250.00 USD for the bird.  

 

I called Paypal, and they were extremely helpful as far as where I needed to forward the suspicous email to. But the crappy part is that the wait time on getting this fixed is ridiculous.
