Default Possible Scam?

Im not sure about this one but recieved a call yesterday from what seemed to be an elderly lady looking to purchase a set of 400 pistons I have posted.She called several times wanting to use paypal Vice Moneyorder,I finally told her I would accept paypal & gave her my paypal address & for a set of pistons I have posted for $250 shipped she sent me $375?? Heres where it gets strange--it states the funds are on hold until the 29th? She then calls & I told her she overpaid for the parts,I was only asking $250..She then tells me she sent the money to the wrong person(me) & wants me to refund her the money thats never really been posted in my acct?? Now im no Rocket scientest but if I do that & her money never posts Im out $375? I cant imagine having my mother order a set of pistons for me & she tells me she hasnt a clue as to what they are????Has anyone had this happen before? Thanx Wayne
