Wow...this person tried doing this to us as well and almost succeeded until we did some research of our on and came across this site. Thanks you guys for posting about your encounters it saved us!!
Same story as Kary's. Received text messages to buy an item posted on classified. Said was in Genoa, could only text blah blah blah and wanted item but needed to pay through PayPal. Person then says in order to finish transaction, I need to send the "agent a fee of $900 before money can be transferred into my account". Total scam.
Reported to Paypal and local police department for further action.
I just received a text from this number 3236384195 and he wanted me to set up an account to send money for payment. I put this number in google and this scam message came up. Please report to the Fcc so they can prosecute him.
