I posted an ad for a Harley and received a text from the number and the guy wanted me to send a $900 Western Union Fee to get the money released! He was very persistant and gave the same story as the other posts! Dont fall for it! You should never have to pay anything out of your pocket when your selling something! I reported him to PayPal Fraud dept, the email he gave to send confirmation that i sent the money to pppaid2014@secureroot.com (nothing to do with PayPal!!!)

Same do***e bag. this time he told me he was a neurosurgen. I told him I feel a scam and what do you know, no more texts. sent his number to the local FBI..

Same story... beating a dead horse now, but SCAM for sure

this guy just contacted me, also wanting to by my car off craigslist, has LA area code, claims he is in NY, oceanographer, buying car for dad, wants paypal info.  states not to worry, will arrange for agent to pickup car.  Lucky I looked the number up.

Same for me.  Oceanagapher, wants to buy my truck for his dad.  Uses the name Paul Smith.  What a jackoff!

Same thing here.  Wants to buy my Automotive lift full price for his Dad. He says he is a Marine Biologist at sea and can only pay using pay paypal. I told him I only accept cash but he is insisting I give him paypal information. I DON'T THINK SOOO...

same as all the rest wants to buy my car here in Arizona and I am glad I looked up the phone # to see if it was a scam and sure enough it is.

Same story today for me... except for the Job. He is now oceanographer!

Same here on a mower I am selling. My question is, if I were to give him the email address of my Paypal acct so he can pay me) how will he scam me?

Same thing here.  Wants to buy Crown Victoria full price for his Dad. Says he is marine biologist at sea and can only pay paypal.  I told him would only accept cash and keeps insisting I give him paypal information.  Told him not to bother texting me, to send his father with cash, and keeps on nagging for paypal info.

Got the same thing for a car I am selling.  Wants to buy for his dad.  Willing to pay asking price.  He is an oceanographer and phones dont work but email does

Wants to buy my Harley full price. He is buying for his dad , but he's at sea so he can only communicate VIA email.

Craigslist scam scum want you to take paypal.  This is a classic scam do not fall for it.  tries to entice by wanting to pay full amount.  It is classic internet scam as he just wants infomation
