Scam or Legit

[mccant]

Hello I just recently sold an item on eBay and buyer sent additional $300 for “steam” gift card & shipping cost for “surprise gift for her cousin….I have screen shot of conversation, she verified her Facebook account and address is a valid shipping address but my intuition is steering me otherwise. If there is a way to receive the funds to get the gift card then there isn’t an issue but unfortunately that’s not the case here. She sent me screen shot of her ig & even include her phone # & email. I just can’t trust people these days. Is this a scam or legit request?

They just responded to my Email: Is this legit or scam? “Thanks for getting back to us, the steam gift card is a gaming card you can purchase it at any nearest store close you and email us the scratched pictures of the card for verification so as to secure the buyer and once we received the pictures of the card from you, your funds will be credited instantly into your account THANKS FOR CHOOSING PAYPAL”

100% TOTAL SCAM.

Once they have the card funds you will NEVER see any funds in your paypal balance, they are sending you FAKE paypal emails.
