So I've been attemtping to make a transaction with (selling a few gift cards to) someone I've been talking to, from Craigslist. They claim that they've sent the money to my account, however after checking my "wallet" and transaction history, I didn't notice any funds sent to my account. They told me to check my email for confirmation, I checked my spam folder and found this email. Upon closer inspection, I noticed it wasn't actually from paypal.com, but from a different email that is not under the paypal domain, and is asking me to reply to the email with the gift card number for verification purposes, before the funds are deposited into my account. I believe this is a scam, but would like to confirm this suspicion by getting input from someone who is more experienced with this kind of issue, or with how PayPal works.
Thanks,
Jason
