"today i got 20 dollars sent to me through invoice it said that i have recieved the 20 dollars on both of them"
When a payment is made on an invoice you sent, the invoice status will be marked "paid" and a separate record of payment will show up in your account activity, not another invoice saying its paid. That's a scam. The buyer made a fake invoice and mark it paid to trick you.
When you click the invoice you sent on the Manage Invoices page, you should see a reference to the payment actually sent with Transaction ID number. If you do not see that, that's another sign its a scam.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
