It's a total scam. They ask for your PayPal info so they can pay from a fake account. By the time you realize it your furniture is gone (someone else always picks it up) and your out of both your expensive furniture and the money. It's a lose-lose situation. Report if possible. Look up "craigslist scam" on google and you'll get the lowdown.
Agree, it is a scam. We listed furniture for sale in New Jersey and their area code is California...they want to send a money order and then have a mover pick it up. Same old Craigslist scam...beware!
Same. Item listed for sale in TN and within minutes I got a text from this number (Rick Smith, Turner Construction, working in rural area.....). After googling Rick Smith Turner Construction I found that many people receive the same story but from many different cell phone #s. He wanted to buy it asap and all he needed was my PayPay account number. So sad.
