Phishing Scam Warning

A reddit report about a phishing scam that cost someone Amount not specified. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

I received a payment on my Pay. Pal a couple weeks ago. The sender was someone with my exact name . Their email is someone I don't know. I contacted paypal and they opened a case. After a few days they said the transaction looks normal and closed the case. I then called and spoke with someone again and they said paypal would refund the money for me. A week later that hasn't happened. My account is safe ,nothing unusual. I haven't heard from anyone wanting the money back. I even sent them a message through paypal with no response. 2 weeks later , is this a scam ? Should i refund the money myself with the paypal option?
