Sent Text asking to buy something I had for sale. Wants to send payment through paypal.

I'm a police officer who works partly on Craigslist scams.  I got a page from this number also on a personal ad i had placed.  Once i got the reply about the "Birthday gift for my son" and "I cannot be able to have you cash at hand or a face to face"...well, this screams scam.  I politely replied to disregard.  If you get anything from this number, i would tell them it's sold or *do not reply at all*.

I got  the same message ,about  a car THANKS FOR THE INFO

Thanks , I had A motorcycle for sale and got the same crap (a gift for my son and I can only pay with papal!)
