Is This a Scam? New Seller Would Love Advice | Selling

Hello everyone! I listed an item and a few days later I had a short back and forth about price with the buyer. I just made the sale and then I got this message from the buyer. The names and email have been censored for privacy but everything else is verbatim copy/paste including all punctuation: "Done , if possible can you send me a simple receipt with the Name : [different name] .To **************@prodigy.net.mxThank you , I apreciate all your help and sorry for all the trouble , regards[name which is included in the user's username, and which was used in all previous messages]" The buyer has 47 item entries, 100% positive buyer feedback with a couple entries in the past month, been a member for 12 years, and listed as located in the USA. The shipping address is to Mexico though, and the email address appears to me to be from Mexico though, with that ".mx" suffix, right? The buyer has purchased items from the same category as the one I sold. It's a $170 dollar item and to me that's high dollar. I would be gutted if this is a scam and I lose the item and the money. What should I do? I think it's strange that the buyer wants a receipt from me with a different name. Is this a variation of the wrong address scam? The fact that it's going across borders makes me even more suspicious or uncomfortable. Advice would be appreciated so so much. Thank you!
