I just got a text today as well, asking if I accept paypal for a $400 item I have listed on craigslist (posted in a different state than the area code of the texter). I wish I'd had have checked the phone number before emailing him/her to say yes I accept paypal...
Serious question though for my own learning... how can you get scammed via paypal if I send him/her a request for money, receive the money from him/her, and then ship the item to him/her (insured, of course)?
Paypal scammer that contacts you via text, trying to get you pay $450 to Western Union so that he (in this case, Lisa) transaction will go through. When you don't respond they demand that you pay because you are ripping them off. THey got my number from a Craigslist where I was trying to sell a very expensive bike. Waste of time, automated responses (same as 1st OP) and "what do you mean ok?" over and over and over.
