Guy wanted to buy Harley advertised on Craigslist via paypal, sent text messages only. Said due to his schedule he wouldn't be able to see bike first. Wanted my paypal account information.
I have seen several of these; this is the first for this number. The first SMS reads: "<craigslist ad title> Still up for sale??" and after I reply I get this: "i will paying you the asking price so consider me as your favorite buyer as i will like to have some more pictures if you have them. I would be glad to pay for it as soon as possible though i will not be available to come for an inspection due to my flexible schedule. I will be paying you with my PayPal Account because it's attached to my Bank Account and its safe and very secure way to make payment".
The next request will be for my paypal email address so they can send me an email instructing me to pay their shipper for them because the shipper requires immediate payment in full.
My experience was the same as Freds above. Person sending the text to me is either very uneducated or English is not their primary language. They text me "due to my flexible schedule I am unable to come see the bike".
