Sold a knife in csgo via paypal 115 euros Scammed!!

[Lightify]

i wanted to sell my knife in csgo for 115 i got a buyer he said he saint me the money and i gave him the knife (RIP)

i looked and its been 2 hours now and still no money it says its an invoice from that guy for 115 euros and its also says that its already paid but i havent done anything

what should i do           can someone just send me an invoice and i have to pay for no reason

do i have to pay even if i didnt do anything he just sent me 

im a little nervous about i have to pay 

and i also have proof of the chat

and last thing   if i didnt send him the knife he would call paypal and get me banned for scamming when he scammed me for my knife 

HELP !!!

@Lightify

If it was marked as an invoice then its probably a scam doing the rounds as its been sent by a buyer and altered to look as though he has paid you.

Signs its a scam are >>>

its an invoice BUT sellers send invoices not buyers

marked as paid

marked as gift

says payment won't show in your balance for eg 24 hours

can't be chargedback.




Paypal NEVER tell you to send anything until the funds are showing in your paypal account balance.

Paypal payments are more or less instant.

Paypal will never tell you that a payment can't be subject to a chargeback if thats what scammers are still putting on invoices.

Same thing happened to me, lost 2 knives. Make sure the money is shown in your account before giving them the item.

ye but if i didnt give him the knife  he would call the support and get me banned cuz i scammed him its just **bleep** up 

well if paypal support wasnt **bleep** and gave me the wrong answer to my question i could have made him pay since i have evidence on everything even the steam chat that he gave me and invoice i have his name.
