I just had the same thing happen. Posted an item on Craigslist this morning. This person texted from 720.285.4480 saying they wanted to buy for cousin overseas using paypal. They also stated I needed to arrange the shipping. Of course before we got to the 3rd text I had already Googled the number & looked up this post / thread. Thank you all for your help in posting here. Praying that we might be able to save someone grief & money.

I also just now got a message from this number. I posted an ad on Craigslist they sent me a text wanting to purchase an item. They could never tell me what I was selling just kept saying the title I had over and over again. Glad I googled this number to see if it was scam!!

Here is how the PayPal Scam, or any other online money service, works:
They say they will buy your item, unseen.
They say they will pay you extra money to cover the shipping charges through their shipping company or agent.
They request your email address linked to your PayPal account.
They instruct you to wire the extra funds they send you to their shipping company or agent.
You receive a invoice from PayPal to your email, stating the funds have been deposited to your PayPal account.
So, you use your money to wire the funds to the shipper.
You then find out the PayPal email was fake, it was sent by the scammer, there were no funds deposited into your PayPal account.
The money you wired, was really picked up by the scammer, it is unrecoverable.
You are out the money you wired.
The same scam is also done with money orders, bank drafts, or cashiers checks.
In these cases, the check you receive, for funds over the amount of your item, is forged, stolen, or counterfeit.
As it may take several weeks for the banks to realize the check is bad, you may not know you have been scammed.
Worst yet, as you passed a bad check, you can be held criminally liable.
You are out the funds you wired, return check charges, and face possible arrest.
