It's a scam, Here is how it works.
1. They message you (text/email)
2. They say they'll give you more than what your asking but by PAYPAL
3. If you agree, you'll receive an email saying the customer sent you your money already and all you have to do is email the tracking number, and then the money will show up on your account.
BUT, the email you receive is NOT from PAYPAL
You can even call Paypal and ask them of they sent any emails to you, and they will confirm that someone is trying to scam you.
SO if you will NEVER receive any $$ on your paypal account, because paypal is not even involved.
I am in the middle of selling my Blackberry 9700 and just got a response from this wingnut as well.
LOL what some people will continually try hey?? Thank goodness for sites like this to inform the vulnerable!
By the way, there is no phone number attached but shorty after I told this Will Riley person to pound sand, I then received another email with a similar request from a Vincent Price (LOL)
Also wanting to swing a PayPal thing. Beware guys. Craiglist is for your local area to meet up in person and receive payment. Don't get screwed!
Thanks for posting info about "Will Riley"! I just got an email request almost identical to the above claims, see below. The number given earlier was also listed as 206-309-0245. So glad people are making such scams public!!!

Hello
Thanks for your reply and am glad to know that it is still
available for sale.However i have few questions on the product you are
selling.
1,I would like to know the reason why you are selling it?
2,What is the current condition of the item ?
3,What is your firm price though am okay with the listing price ?
4,Do you have the original box and the receipt ?
5,Do you mind if i pay you through paypal though i would be willing to
cover the shipping because am not local at the moment am out of town
to visit my sick grandma and i would like to purchase this item on
behalf of my colleague as a replacement for her crashed camera because
she did the same when i lost mine too.
If you do not have a PayPal account, you can do so by going to
www.PayPal.com and set up your account it is free easy and guarantees
transaction safety.Once you send me your paypal email account, I will
send you the payment for your item as well as $150 USD to cover
shipping via USPS EXPRESS MAIL INTL.
I would be glad if my request is favorably considered.
