I sold a man something for $700. I was sent an email from <removed> saying in order to credit your account, we have contacted your last payee and had him donate another 500 dollars. Now I have to refund the buyer in steam gift cards, but I still have a 0 balance, is this legit?

Hi @Clayton5,
I'm sorry to hear that you've apparently been targeted for an Overpayment Scam. Please read the linked article and stay safe!
I hope this helps!
