I received a random email this afternoon about a person sending me US$600+ by mistake. A short while ago I received a notification of case opened through paypal. I was not selling anything and was not expecting that money to land in my account. Is it safe to issue a refund or am I being scammed? Please help. I don't want my own money to follow the refund and end up in that person's account.

Are the funds SHOWING on your paypal account and in your paypal balance?
If so are they cleared or pending?
Secondly click on the transaction and see if you were charged a fee to accept the payment.

Thats why they told you to only refund $599 so that you don't have to pay the fee.
If you refunded the amount that they sent you then you would be paying that fee wouldn't you?
BUT wait till its cleared if its showing as on hold due to the new seller hold? (may be up to 21 days) OR the refund will be taken from your bank account !!!!!
