and am satisfied with your firm/advert price,
as am requesting this transaction should be done in total success,i will be paying you via check so
after the Check has been cashed by you i will ask my mover's to come for the pick up at your location,

Recieved a message wanting to buy an item I listed on Craigs List. They were buying for her brother and wanted to pay by Pay Pal. I had a friend who had been taken as Pay Pal did not collect the money. Be Careful.
I just received a txt from the same 443 followed by 692-7592 - saying they want to buy
a vehicle sight unseen! And - of course- wanting to use "my paypal account" which I do not even have.
SCAMMERS! I txtd back and said I just looked them up on the web and just as I suspected - they are scammers, and are being reported as such!

I just received a call to buy a mobility scooter sight unseen. THey said they would pay my pal pal account but I asked pay pal and they said it's ok because once the money is there then they can't get it back. Pay pal guarantees the purchase is good once their card clears....
I don't like what I am hearing here though and thought it was some kind of scam.
I also received a call to buy artwork same thing, they would send a driver to pick it up and pay by pay pal...
