Scotia Bank Online Banking Scam-refund the overcharge amount

My wife just got into similar problem with an online sales.
The buyer was threatening her to refund $500 for a transfer that he made for $517. The price agreed was only $17. But he said the oversea bank cannot transfer $17. Must be $517. He said that his was scotia bank europe. He told my wife that she needs to refund the $500 first then only the $517 will go through.
My wife didn't budge and he started threatening my wife about her going to jail etc....

They are both scam addresses.

Both are free email addresses, which a legitimate bank would never use.

Is that a scammer right. Because he sent me into a Scam Inbox

So,I have make an ad on mudah.my
I sold for rm1700
Then a man came and WhatsApp me,after the procedure

He said I need to pay rm400
And he also said after I pay half I get the money.

So, I bank in rm200 to his agent
Then, he said the bank cannot transfer the money bcs of insufficient fund
At that time,I felt weird..it was a Singaporean (David Yukon)don't know if it's a true name,and he sent me using this email [email protected]
Is this a true Scotia Bank email....and what should I do now?

[AlanJones]

It's a scam. Legitimate banks don't use Gmail email addresses and they don't ask recipients of transfers to make a payment to enable them to receive their funds.

I just got scammed i send him 200rm is there a wag i can get my 200 again?

Hai I just want to know if this is email is a scam.

It's a scam. No bank would be using a free email address. Ignore any further emails from them.
