Here is how the "PayPal Scam" works:
Says they will buy the item and will pay extra to cover charges by his shipping agent.
Says he will PayPal the funds and instruct you to send the extra money via wire transfer or pre-paid card to the agent.
He then sends you a fake PayPal deposit notice email, spoofing the official PayPal notice, that says the money has been put into your account.
You, thinking PayPal has your money, go ahead with the wire/prepaid transfer to the shipping agent, who is really the scammer.
After that, you then find out there was no money transferred to PayPal and are out the money your wired.
Here is how a "Craigslist Scam" or any other "I will send you a check for more than you asked" scam works:
He pays for the item + extra funds to cover his shipping agent costs with a bank draft or cashiers check.
He sends you a check, tells you to cash it and send the extra money to his shipping agent via wire transfer or prepaid card.
You cash/deposit check and wire/prepaid the funds to the agent.
Later, the check bounces as it was counterfeit. The money you sent to the agent, who is really the scammer, is unrecoverable due to it being wire transferred/prepaid card.
You are out money and now run the risk of being arrested for passing a counterfeit check.

Just today this person wanted to know my final price and thanks to you'll I gave him a hard time. It's a scammer. He offered me $10,000 for a truck that is only worth $800 and still continuous to ask what condition it is in. So obviously he did not read or look at CL. Ship to Kansas for an extra $1000.

This guy wanted me to ship my cargo trailer to Mexico and he said he'll pay for everything with a mail check and ask if I can front him with all the cost prior to me getting the check.

This guy texted me wanting to buy my truck. Said he pay $1000 over my price to have it shipped to Kansas. Wanted to pay through Paypal. I was suspicious so I thought I'd look the number up. Thank for the heads up from the other folks on here for posting your issues with this guy and number .

this woman claims to be lisa walters. trying to buy my truck thru craigslist. its a total scam. its kinda funny. she has answers for everything. she currently claims to be with the navy on a ship and that's why she cannot call me, only text. wants all my paypal info. will give me an extra 1000 dollars for shipping so her "agent" can come pick it up. refuses to give me her address that the truck will be shipped to.
