Hello, I was selling my old phone on gumtree as I saw it could be linked to PayPal. Phone was selling for $1200 however I was offered $1350 inc of shipping to America as "Michelle <removed>" was away on business and she was buying it as gift for her daughter. I sent her a PayPal invoice and I received an email she had paid and the full amount would be transferred to me once I provide tracking number. I did so and is now sent. I am now thinking I've been scammed as I got another email saying that they overpaid $1800 and would need to send gift card of $450 which flashed some lights for me and this is why I think I've been scammed. Is there anything I can do, I sold my phone so I could pay off debt not become further in debt. Any help and advice would be great, Thanks, Bailey
