Contacted me about my item for sale on craigslist via text/SMS. Said he would pay full price and have someone come pick it up. Seen this scam too many times. Told him his number was associated with a scam after doing a Google search.
NEVER sell an item to someone without a face to face meeting and a REAL contact number with address. NEVER give out social security or bank info. NEVER allow someone access to your Paypal account. If in doubt, tell the texter or caller that their number is associated with a SCAM and you'll contact the authorities if they persist.

This is a scam. This person contacted me via craiglist ad for an item I was selling. I don't trust them they wanted it shipped to NY. I was not going to divulge my info either.
