Hi @str8tshooter,

 

I'm sorry to hear that you were seemingly targeted for a common scam called an overpayment scam. I would recommend reading about it at that link. There is either actually no payment sent at all, or if there is a payment it could be stolen funds that will be charged back when the owner of the card learns that the funds have been taken.

 

Thank you for being vigilant!
