Scam Description
This person was buying 2 baseball cards from me for $700 total. Along with the $700 total they told me that they wanted to purchase a $300 Visa card as a gift to whomever they were sending the cards to along with an additional $25 for (inconvenience). I then got an email from PayPal saying that in order to get the total amount of $1025 I’d have to buy the $300 visa and send a picture of the front and back. After I sent the visa, I never got the amount and I looked up the gift card I bought and the $300 was emptied out of the card.
