I also got a call from this number, exactly the same script as er'body else. Couch, sight unseen, PayPal, movers coming, sent money got confirmation... blah blah blah. Margaret is the name. I said cash only in person and then I said quit playin with people. No more contact.

Same thing just happened to me.  Why would you want to buy a couch without looking at it in person??? SCAM

"Margaret" contacted me as well to purchase a bed I posted on CL. Tried to insist on PayPal via my email. Luckily I googled the phone number which brought me to all of these postings. I was only going to accept PayPal if I were sent friends and family and using my phone #, Margaret continued to insist on having my email. I declined and informed that I am a 17 yr LEO, needless to say no further communication was made.

attempted to scam me on craigslist via PayPal.  Beware!

I'm getting text message from this number wanting to buy furniture on Craiglist and paying with Paypal.  I thought Paypal was safe how does this scam work?
