I want the item to be shipped to my nephew in New Orleans with a 400$ ebay gift card because it is to be presented as a Christmas gift,I’m currently not available to have it done my self because I’m out of the state with the marine corps for an international duty so I’m making an additional payment of 500$ which is 400$ for the gift card,50$ for the shipping and 50 for the inconvenience, I hope you can kindly assist me with that?

And I say yes.

he want me to sent a email to <removed>

And I did, the Gmail account sent me a message says he pay 500to my account and I have to take photos for these gift card to get the money deposit .

 

Is it a scam?
