Texting claiming there sick and wanna buy an item I have for sale but need my account number or PayPal

Yep... someone sick in a Los Angeles hospital who needs computer components, and they need your bank info in order to send money into the bank account. Nigerian Scam.

Same here, posted an add on craigslist and the person said she was sick in a hospital in LA and wanted me to ship the item to them after receiving a wire transfer. Do not do business with this person!

Posted a watch on Kijiji, received a text from this number 323-835-1550, saying was in hospital and was interested, wanted to send money to pay pal but believed it was real, and gave bank info, thank God my bank told me it wasn't a big deal, people give their personal info all the time.. not much they can do... I received a text message saying transfer was done, and that for the payment to process I would have to ship item...Seriously...I hope people dont make the mistake I did, Google number first ALWAYS

had a call  about  this  person  being  in  the  hospital  wanting  to  buy  my  phone  I had advertised in Craigslist.
