If there are no funds in your paypal balance and no transaction in your activities then yes its a scam, never heard of that email address myself.

Omg luckily I double checked everything. Nope, I haven't received any funds, it just says "request sent - pending" with +$$$ (dollar amount). Also, I was asked to send the item to <removed> Miami, FL, USA which has been reported as a scam place. What do you think?
