I advertised an old bike for sale in a neighborhood newspaper.  The agreed amount was $150 and "Michael Peterson" said he would throw in an extra $30 for my trouble.  A check came in my name for $1,500.  He e-mailed me to "Follow his instructions!!!.  The instructions were for me to deposit the $1500 in my bank account and mail him the remainder back to him.  If I didn;t know it was a scam before the check came, I learned it then.  

I was selling an item on Craigslist and this phone number called. He said he was Danny, living in Dallas. Wanted to do business by Paypal only. Nice try on the scam.

This number is trying to trick you into sending shipping funds by western union stating the sale amount will be credited to your PayPal. Hope no one falls for this, what a slimy crook!

Yea this Moron is still working the craigslist... What a loser.

I got a text from this clown and he/she says they live in CA and wanted to only do a paypal transaction. I told them I already sold item.

Thank you for the post it was helpful I'm in the same situation!

Had a wedding dress for sale on CL, Just got a text from the same number, and he used the same scam set up.  he wanted Paypal only and wanted a moving company to pick it up.  
BEWARE,,,,,, IT'S A SCAM !!!!!

Got the same person who responded to wedding dress.  Same phone number and email.

Email was James.morgan483@yahoo.com FYI

Same here with a wedding dress. Seemed legit until he refused to do face to face or cash offer and only wanted to do PayPal to an unconfirmed address.... We all know that is a scam.

Got a txt from this number with interest about a dirt bike, seemed fishy wanting to use PAYPAL & wanted to ship it asap all over txt only so i searched the number and found trouble. Don't take the risk....

I received a suspicious text from this number regarding an item I'm selling.  I reported it to paypal and they have no record of this number or the email supposedly associated with it.  It is a scam according to paypal.  Beware!!
