Bob,

I won't belabor the point but being forewarned is to be forearmed.

Scammers are buying stuff on eBay then claiming that they overpaid and the overpayment has already been refunded to your PayPal account so please credit it back to this credit card or face fraud suit. Obviously, you check PayPal and, Eureka, they overpaid you exactly $1000. Since the money is actually there, you have little hesitation to return it.

The scam is, they initially paid you with a stolen credit card and you become a party to credit card fraud easily traceable to you. You have inadvertently become a launderer. Meanwhile, the perpetrator has disappeared from Radar.
