Just happened to us, He called hisself Brian Snapp. Said he wanted to buy our motorcycle for his son's birthday, wanted the e-mail address for paypal, and would have a driver pick the bike up.  Glad to see we could check on this, we almost got scammed.  Going to try to report this further.

same thing here was going to buy my truck and wanted to use pay pal.  When I told him I would be more comfortable having it wired into my account no further text.  Complete scammer

Me too...obvious scam. Funny thing is this came back as a land line in Cicero, IN.  He pulled the "buying it as a birthday surprise for my son".  I replied that I was in Cicero all day today and would stop by so we could discuss it in person....that was the end of his communication.   I live 70 miles from this area but was unable to get a street address or he would be looking me in the eye by days end.

I just went through the same thing for my motorcycle with "Jim". He finally stopped texting when I got down right rude with him.

Same number different name they used westly as the name same old scammer

I didn't get a Jordan but the person that text me was a Lynsey. She first asked if my car was still for sale and what condition it was in. She said she had a mover to come get it and not to worry about shipping. She wanted to pay through PayPal and as soon as I said I don't do PayPal and only cash, a different number almost immediately sent me a text asking basically the same thing. Definitely a scam and last time I'm putting my number up on CG

I just got several texts from this number looking to buy my RV. Same thing, didn't want pictures, said he would be it immedietly if I sent him my PayPal email and then he would have a shipper pick it up. The first text asked about the condition and then said he was buying it for his son's birthday

Exactly.  They don't want your item, just your money!

He is NOT scamming PayPal.  You would get a FAKE invoice from  a look-a-like (phony) PayPal site.  Scammer hopes you don't catch that & that you will wire money via Western Union or a pre-paid cash card.  He did tell you he had a shipper in mind, didn't he?  That shipper is him and you would be out the money you paid for a fake shipper.

Same here.  Glad my son said to google the phone number.  He was trying to buy our motorcycle with paypal for his son's birthday.  Was very determined for us to open a paypal account.  How is he scamming paypal????

"Jordan" tried texting me about a truck I have for sale. Like the rest of you he quickly tried to set up a Paypal account with me claiming he was buying the truck for his cousin. He didn't ask questions about the truck at all and offered me more than my asking price to cover shipping. He's a SCAM.

Just got a text about my RV thanks for the feed able this is the 2ND Paypal thing I got

Got a text from the same number wanting to buy my car.  Wanted to pay on PayPal too.  Don't know how the scam works but it must be one.  Glad I read all of your comments!

Sane thing with me. In a hurry to purchase my quad and didn't want pics. Even offered me more then the selling price to cover shipping. A total scam.

The same thing happened to me. A guy named "Jordan" wanting to buy my motorcycle. Pushing hard for a paypal acct email. Is there a way they can hack Paypal or scam you when it is paypal protected?

this guy Jordan also contacted me about purchasing my motorcycle and he claims he is a stammer. he sure was in a hurry for me to set up a paypal account. lives in Cicero, IN. He never asked anything about the bike!

a "Jordan" texted me from this number about a motorcycle I have for sale. The text started with a copied headline from an online ad I posted for the bike (which included the price and description) and then he/she asked me price and condition of the bike... definitely not legit.

texted last night about a truck for sale. he/she is still trying. Dont fall for it. you cannot recieve payment VIA anything without giving out account numbers. Be smarter then this scam.

Got contacted as well. Same scenario....PayPal and oil rig

He is trying to buy stuff thru paypal. Could be a scam.
