I have been ripped off of 300 dollars this week I was selling an Xbox one and extra stuff on eBay and I got a message from someone telling me to text them. I am new to eBay and very trusting of people and unfortunately I gave them my phone number. I sent pictures to the number with my eBay name next to the item and they said they wanted to buy it. After that I received an email from "PayPal Transactions" saying that I had received payment of 300. I quickly jumped to conclusion and shipped the object to the address in the email. It took me a while to realize I had been scammed. When I go the reply to the email from "PayPal Transactios" it says I'm replying to "Transactionsp (at) gmail.com". Here is a copy of the email I received initially I have the alleged buyers number and also the address I shipped the item to. Also I used tracking from the USPS to watch the shipment. I received an email that said the following: """" Please process this order as soon as possible, You received a payment of $300.00 USD from Aubrey Taylor. Please process your order right away.
