Selling a car on Hemmings.com. Got a text from this number, wanting to purchase the car sight unseen, at asking price, and pay through PayPal. Asked them to CALL me to discuss. They said they were deaf and could only text or email. (Sounded like an excuse to cover up a suspicious accent.) They texted me their email, which was supposed to be connected to their PayPal account, and I called PayPal customer service, who were extremely helpful to me. There was so such PayPal account. Told the "buyer" via text what I'd learned from PayPal. Dead silence from them after that. Obviously a scam.

Got a text today off a Craigslist ad from "DEANNA" wanted to buy car site unseen and send money to paypal account and have a private courier pick up vehicle.
Received text re our vehicle for sale near Omaha. We suspected something right away because the area code didn't match our area and thanks to this website the discussion didn't go far (for the 2nd time today).
I got a call today from this # to purchase my car off craigslist through paypal, don't trust it, don't do it, they would not call to ask questions, I'm sure they are in the area but act like they are miles away, lowlife acts!!
