Request for payment; but never bought the item

To day (24/02/2012) I received 2 emails about the same product /value.

 

The 1st message, from ******@hotmail.com, was trying to sell me a product - Toshiba Laptop Password Removal - for the cost of $35. It was emailed to me at one of my addressed but not one I would have used for this product. This message looked very similar to one I saw on Ebay.co.uk

 

(I had been looking on Ebay.co.uk for this product and bought some for $4.94 and paid for it with paypal, it did not work and I got a refund)

 

The 2nd message was from service at paypal.com.mx; I was immediately suspicious about the .mx ending. The merchant is Luis Eugenio Davila de Garate - w w w.laptoprebirth.com.

 

I have not responded to either message.  As far as I am concerned tis is an attempt to scam, what do you think?

Hey there,

 

If you never bought an item then just cancel the money request. Only sent payment for something through PayPal if its an item that you actually purchased yourself.
