Got a text in response to purchasing an item I was selling on Craigslist. Offered more than I was asking via PayPal and wanted it shipped overseas to his cousin "as a gift". Address shows up as "fraud in Nigeria" & PayPal account payment is pending upon confirmation of shipment. Upon further research of the address, there are multiple reports of attempted scams using the same format. NEVER ship anything without receiving payment and always beware when they are offering more than you're asking and phrases like "oversea" "to my cousin". Watch for improper use of the English language and lack of contractions in conversational dialogue
