someone bought an item i was selling and they asked me to buy a gift card and send it with the package because it is a gift for someone and they would reimburse me for the gift card. I received 3 emails about payments and the gift card from paypal that went to my spam folder and they seem fraudulent but im not sure. the payment isn't showing up in the paypal app and the emails say that the payment will go through once i send the scratched gift card to the person. what should I do?

Do nothing, it’s a scam. Or if you want, forward the emails to spoof@paypal.com and delete all copies from your inbox.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
