I have had the same experience. He texted literally two minutes after I posted my Van on Kijiji and said his name is George and wants to buy my van. Then the same courier story!
This is a scammer. I posted my car on Kiji and he replies saying that he was Nicholas and that he would buy my car at asking price. However, a courier would come pick up the car and that he wanted to make the payment through paypal. This is a known scam and the moment I said "cash or certified check only" he never replied.
Same as what Julia posted, he texted as soon I I posted an add to sell my sofa. His name is Nicholas and wants to pay via Paypal. Replied saying cash only. No word from him since.

Posted a bike on Craigslist, asked for full name and address and said he would mail a money order for more than my asking price and his assistant would arrange the pick up
Got a text message from this number

I can only guess he found my resume online.
