Is it attached to an order?
That's probably really Amazon CS forwarding you the message from a phone call. Follow policy, don't listen to them. They just repeat what the customer says.
Don't provide a full refund. Ask the customer to return for a refund, input your return address and instructions on opening a return into the message.

Hello @Seller_6ilYpWQG4vwkH
Thank you for posting your inquiry to the Forums.
To offer additional context, when a buyer reaches out to Customer Support regarding an order, Amazon's customer service will relay the message to the seller via buyer-seller messaging to resolve any concerns. It is important to respond to the message within 48 hours as this can mitigate an A-Z Claim being automatically granted. You can request that the buyer opens a return request. This help page can be shared as it details how a buyer can open a return request.
Regards,
