Someone saying they were from PayPal said I had numerous items that looked like people were trying to get into my account. They asked me to go buy a gift card at Walgreens and give them the number on the back. Then they said that would only cover 1 item I would need to buy three more gift cards at $200 each. I said no they then would not refund my $200 back

I received an email with Paypal heading that said I had ordered $650.98 worth of items.  I never did.  Has anyone else had something like this.  Is it a scam?

An obvious scam, that is not how paypal works.

Why would they ask you to get another companies gift cards to do anything paypal account related !!!
