Yes, scammer. Texted me messages that her name is Alice and she was interested in buying my items posted on Craig's List. She said she is a petroleum geologist out in the middle of the ocean she so can't call me or pickup in person. Said she would pay me by cashier's check, full price + $50 for holding items for her mover to pick up. Her number is a VOIP number so she must have access to internet. That's also how she saw ad on Craig's List. So I told her to send payment via PayPal. Never heard from her again. Typically this kind of scammer only needs to get your address then they also ask you to hold other purchases for them until their shipper picks up; those purchases are usually made with stolen credit cards and stolen identities.
