Yup, he contacted me too for an item on Craigslist. After googling his phone number and his story why he would want to buy an item unseen. Seems the internet is full of his attempts to scam people with their Paypal account from this Oceanist buying items for family members that live near you.
Listed a boat on Craigslist this morning...got a text from "Monica" who said she would buy the boat for her "dad" as a present, pay my asking price but that payment would have to be made through PayPal. Same scam reported by others. Responded saying "call me." Of course, no response.
