this number texted me said it was interested in somthing I was selling  they said they would do paypal only and they said  it was more reasonable than cash and also offered me more than wanted it seem to good to be true said that would send me all the information after I sent what I had to the person they wanted to get it for but after I said I wasn't interested I wanted cash only it kept texting me the samething and it wasn't just one message it was 4 messages at once to me it seemed like a scam

This same number just did the exact same thing to me! I looked the number up on Google since there are many scams and found your reply because I knew it was too good to be true.  Thank you!

The scammer offers an eBay / Craigslist / other auction site seller a wonderful deal. The scammer will use "PayPal" to send the money, so the deal will "be protected by PayPal". Here are some of the variations on the scam:

 *  The scammer picks up the item or has it delivered to a place that has no snailmail tracking. Since there is no online-visible proof of delivery, the scammer successfuly files and wins an Item Not Received case with PayPal, and gets both the money and the item.

 *  The scammer sends the seller a PHONY link to PayPal. The phony link states the item was paid, but the seller has to send some money or the Tracking Number "to release the funds". The scammer gets both the money and the seller's PayPal login information!

Also selling on Craigslist and very same scenario. People must be aware that as soon as you list the scammers are trolling the internet looking for you. Notify Paypal immediately upon getting a fraudulent email saying your money is there. It isn't.

Same exact thing happened to me on craislist. So glad I found this site before making the transaction!
