I got the same thing but from 315-949-5320! The text came in at 4:30am so it seemed shady right away.
Here is the text:
"I am Col. Steven James from the United States Army,Am currently on duty and am buying this camera for my son who study abroad as a surprise gift, your price is OK and i will add $80 for shipping. I hope you will understand my situation and get back to me now with your PayPal account email for an instant payment"
Yeah, they are always somewhere else and can't look at the item. Who buys something used without looking it over? Although i must say this one ha low expectations. He sends you a fake e mail from paypal, then you are supposed to pay his shipper. End up you are out the money.
Exact same thing for my MacBook. Word for word!
