Never sold anything to him because he never paid, but just something weird going on with this guy.  November 8 2013.

duplicate of the above  Craig list  add found it funny when he did not want to see pictures of vehicle I was selling ,and he agreed on selling price so quick  but now he is using gmail  but wierd thing  Paypal says account is legit so what is going on ????????

I'm going through this right now with him. Posted ad on Kijiji.ca. and I've received emails from paypal saying I need to send $380 to a shipping company then funds will be released to my paypal account. He has my name, address and email. I'm pissed!

Received text from this phone number and want to know my last price for the car I am selling in kijiji ad.

Also received several texts a week apart with the same question about a boat for sale, not interested in seeing boat or pictures but really interested in getting my paypal address, I asked this looser for his pay pal address which he sent me as parkermckay24@ymail.com same name Parker from SC phone number 1-803-443-6193.
Glad we checked here first, get a life Parker!

Got an english texto today, with an area code that I did'nt know. It was right after renewing my Kijji add... in french !
Just deleete it when I found all your similars stories, after a phone number seach on Google.

So I also take time to write my story, if it can help somebody else...

Yes, add on Kijji here in Canada, this is the same as the other posting, thought odd myself, too bad someone wants to waste time, funny as someone above said, that there are spelling errors. I just googled, and here I landed,,, might continue the back and forth to see how long he keeps messing around, will not, or would not send monies. However, when someone wants to sell, and get a call, you are anxious time is important to everyone,,,, google something, helps save from people like this,,,,,Hey, thanks Parker for wasting time! It was all by texting too!

Got text today from same number re: my kijiji ad

I just received this message above , this individual either saw the post on e-mail or kijji
Will post his questions as they come

(1/2)Good morning, Can you give me more details about it, are you the first owner, Did you bought it new? am not trying to be rude here,
(2/2)but there are tons of crappy items out there and don't want to be stuck with something in bad condition.

My story is very similar to yours as well. He found me kijiji.ca where I have listed a helmet. He approached me with a text message: "...is this item still available for sale...can you assure me i will not be disappointed? Oh! Sorry if you don't mind me asking, what is your name and Do you have PayPal concerning the payment? Please get back to me asap so i can get proceed today"...and the discussion continues pretty much the same...stay away!!!

Don't bother with these websites, they produce no results. File your complaints directly with the FCC at http://www.fcc.gov/complaints.

My story is the exact same as. sarahs , he is quite slow if he thinks people will give up cash their paypal accounts to him. I am in the middle of a conversation with him,time to have some fun ;)

"Parker":  Hello, is this item still available for sale?  [the type of car I was selling]
Me:  Hello, yes it is
"Parker":  My name is Parker.  Can you give me more details about it, are you the first owner, did you bought it new?  am not trying to be rude here, but there are tons of crappy items out there and don't want to be suck with something in bad condition
Me:  [Information about my vehicle]
"Parker":  Okay what is your last asking price of it? and can you assure me I will not be disappointed with it? Oh! Sorry if you don't mind me asking, what is your name? and Do you have PayPal concerning the payment? please get back to me asap so I can proceed today.
Me:  [More stuff about the car and having paypal]
"Parker": [Makes an offer $200 lower than my asking price]
Me [Agreeing]
"Parker":  If you wish to proceed selling this to me, provide me you acceptable PayPal email Id and the pick-up address; so I can proceed with the Payment Asap, also so I can forward it to the shipping company to calculate the cost of pickup for me.  
Me: Shipping company?
"Parker": I would like to order for Aggco shipping company and Moving Service for the Pick up and Delivery, after payment is confirmed to you by PayPal and Inspections will be done by the moving company as soon as the payment is verigied.  kindly get back to me with your paypal email address so I can make the payment asap.
Me:  Can we do the money transfer directly from one account to the other using email addresses without paypal?  [Other stuff regarding that my car is in a different city than I am currently in]

No further response from "Parker" and because I was very skeptical from the beginning since he mentioned that he was not wanting to view it first I looked up selling and using paypal on the internet and thats when I came across this site and others.  I am glad I am so skeptical of scammers.... they are so common, it is unfortunate.  I proceeded to thank him for wasting my time and that I am aware of his gig.

Thanks for all the posts, I am happy that this is available to help people from getting screwed over.

I received a text from this number after posting my truck on Craigslist. The person said there name was Parker and wanted to know what my name was and if I had PayPal. I replied, asking them to call me so we could work out the details but they never did. The same person sent me a text the following day asking for the same information. I went to "Google" and this site came up.

DON'T FALL FOR THIS SCAM.

He's a scammer I reported him to crags list and Paypal. Both phone number and fake PayPal emails. Kind of knew it was a scam when he didn't want to look at my truck but was going to send a shipping company.

Same call that Aska reported but said his name was John and from New York

Scam!

Definitely a scam replying to a Craigslist ad I published.

scammer wanted to buy my car with paypal scam

Received texts about car I had for sale on crags list..
