Just got the same happen to me, this guy is now using different phones for his scam.  (978)8226638 and (646)8206553 are the new numbers he is using still using Colin Lewin though.

Same story - got a text about wanting to purchase a car I had posted on Craig's list.  Without even looking at it or asking questions about the car, wanted to buy it with PayPal.  Got an email from Colin Lewin stating the money had already been transferred to my account but in order to get it I had to Western Union the shipping fee of $900.00.  When I tried calling this number, there was never an answer.  When I refused to pay the money, I got a text stating that I was the scammer.  The last text I got from this person stated they were going to report me to the FBI!  What nerve!  People, BEWARE of this scum!!!

Craigslist SCAM

Me too, same number. Wanting to PayPal me money. Beware!

Thanks for this information. Just got a text from this number asking about a motor my husband has for sale on Craig's List. I was curious what area the number was in and all of this information popped up. I'm going to see what info they try to get from me, I guarantee that I'm smarter than them.

i received a text in regards to an item i have listed on craigslist. the weird part about it was they wanted to pay using paypal? when i have it listed as cash only and local pick up. they insisted on me sending them my email account plus all my info. once i told them i didn't have an paypal account, they send me a paypal link so i can create one. this scammers are getting thirsty.   thanks for the heads up

He literally just texted me about my 4-wheeler on craigslist and i live in IN. He said he worked for this construction co in NY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENTS BECAUSE YOU SAVED ME!!!

I got a text saying he wants to buy my car for his kid, and it was a surprise present. He needed my PayPal account to send me the money, because it was the safest way to send money.
