I have been getting the same text recently. It seems like some type of unusual scam. I found this online before really going further. I told the buyer to call me before I send my paypal account in order to prevent some hacking issues. He did call. Hispanic origin. And said he wants it shipped to his cousin. When I asked him to send the address, he sent Dennis Kenneth, 4 Brethren Close, Ejigbo, Lagos, Nigeria 23401.
I cant say if I will continue with the shipment at this point.
This is African guy who sits all day and night and sends emails and texts to people on craigslist. Every time I list a phone on craigslist I get text from him. The guy fabricated Paypal massage with bunch of mistakes and wants you to think it is real and that you received money. Of course when you log in to your Paypal there is nothing there, no pending transaction. He does not even have Paypal account. He wants you to ship to this address:
Dennis Kenneth
4 Brethren Close
Ejigbo
Lagos
Nigeria
23401
he uses different phone numbers that are all fake:
Insisted that he wanted to purchase but was on a trip - when I told him I didn't mind waiting until he was back in town, he re-sent the exact same message he'd sent me in the first place. He's a scammer, & not a very good one at that.
I also had an item posted on Craigslist. They insisted On Using PayPal which I declined. Haven't heard from them since. Definitely a scam glad I went with my gut.
