Same here they texted me regarding a vehicle I have for sale on Craig's list Saying they were a marine biologist and wanted my truck for a gift for they're dad and needed my PayPal email address to send the money ... I said no cash in hand because the truck is my father n laws ... And plus I said I didn't have a PayPal account they were persistent even sent me the PayPal link to open an account lol ... I googled the phone number they were texting from to find this info ... Avoid this scam at all costs .. I td them I was contacting the Sherriffs department and Craig's list about this and told them to f--k off!! Needless to sat they haven't messages me again
