Scam artist. Texted from this number about a truck I am selling and wanted to buy the car sight-unseen and pay thru PayPal. Scammers do this because the seller has no protection using PayPal this way. Prospective "buyer" has excuses for not being able to talk, but this is definitely a scam artist.

.....getting texts from this number and and 2524427347 re a Range Rover I am selling.......same text andquestions exactly from different numbers.....bizarre...prob scmmmers as you say

Same here, got a car up for sale on autotrader.com and received a barely literate text message from holymoore4@gmail.com.  Scammer is also using the email address mariamurphy13@outlook.com and sending texts from (214) 612-2080.

I thought using PayPal was safe. If the buyer sends you money, they cant take it back. And they can't withdraw funds from your paypal account, without authorization. So how does that scam work? holymoore4@gmail.com wants to buy buy my car sight unseen at full price + Paypal  fee from autotrader.com too, but he used 936-417-3536  a supposed Corrigan,Texas landline.
What Gives?

Selling car on Auto Trader. Got a text from # 530-563-7324, mariamurphy13@gmail.com and from 214-612-2080, terribe1960@outlook.com. Their texts were exactly the same. Came in the middle of the night. Google searched the 214 # and came back with this website saying they were part of a scam. Contacted fraudwatch @autotrader.com. They said they were part of a PayPal scam.. Thanks for having these numbers listed as a scam. I thought something seemed odd but you verified it and fraud watch agreed.
We've all got to report these things when they happen, so that maybe we can put an end to these fraudulent activities.               Thanks, Lyndie
