if they're both from Miami then they're either the same person or good friends that are in on it.

the police wont do a damn thing. focus on your communication and always ask for a phone number you can reach a person by. always pay with a cc and u will be good.

The same dude hit me up last week but I knew it was a scam when he was basically insisted that the money be sent as a gift. And he wouldn't give me his Paypal address so I could send a invoice.
The type of scam isn't really new though I saw something similar awhile back but it was a with a trade instead

That sounds like the 2nd dude is in on it too. What are the odds that he just happened to find someone willing to buy his sneakers at the exact same time as you were selling yours and for the same exact price? Too many stars need to align to pull that scam off unless your boy is the other person involved.

Wait both dudes are in miami? Yeah its either the same guy or two people who know each other.
BTW, I've never heard of paypal allowing disputes for gift payments. That can only be done via credit card. IDK if Devin is threatening you, but hes trying to scam you too.

I'm gonna get flamed for this, and I sincerely hope OP gets to keep the money, but just in regards to the scammer's scheme here:
Have never/will never scan anyone, but appreciate a good con, what can I say. Word to Inside Job.

This is the most most obvious scenario but dude offered/messaged me 3 times with different amounts for the same pair of shoes. He could be messaging a lot of people and just waits to see who bites.

This is bad, but not as bad the NTer who got scammed for his South Beaches last week. At least this scammer was creative.

scammer sold a false pair to person A
Person A sends money to OP assuming its the scammer
Person A gets no sneakers and files a dispute against scammer, who is actually OP. It should be against the scammer
Scammer leaves with sneakers , Person A gets no sneakers, OP gets his $310 but it's not really his.

Person A thought they were buying a pair of Lebron ASG shoes from the scammer and OP thought the scammer was paying for the Kobe ASG shoes he was selling.
