suspicious transaction

Hi all I want to ask something

 

I just want to sell my scooter, and someone sent me an email about Paypal payment that cannot be reversed. I was asked to purchase AUD 500 iTunes gift voucher in order the Fund transferred to my bank account. Is is true that there is a scheme like this? or is it a deception?

 

Thank you

SCAM.

 

You will never see the funds in your balance, they are sending FAKE paypal emails.

Paypal would never tell you to use any vouchers or tokens for anything to do with your account and certainly not from a rival company.
