Gift card payment?

I’ve been awaiting a payment for £650 - the woman has said she wants us to purchase a gift card as a favour for her... she has sent £750 but it says that payment requires proof of gift card! If we purchase her a £100 gift card would we still be paid the full £750? Or only £100 for her gift card?? It says until this is done no payment will be made into our account?! Seems a bit dodgy - can anyone help!

ITS A SCAM, you will get a FAKE paypal email telling you that she has paid but you must send the gift card first before the funds are released.

She does not want your item just to scam you of that gift card.

No money in your paypal balance = you have NOT been paid, even pending it would still SHOW in your paypal balance.
