Had a text message at 4AM in reply to a Craigslist ad.

Had a text msg from Craigslist ad asking to buy my item via pay pal. Kept insisting on using pay pal. I researched and the whole thing sounded a lot like the PayPal Craigslist scam: http://www.fox4now.com/news/local/147387915.html

Do not perform any transactions with this guy. It is a scam and he will attempt to steal your money. I suggest you to contact your nearest Police Cyber Crime Department and give them details of suspicious activity. I already did that.

Same here! I was scammed out of a laptop by this guy. Tried to get me to wire money Western Union but he did not get that far. This is a scam number do not respond. The FBI cyber crime unit is now investigating this issue. He uses craigslist to find victims to scam. He asks for your email address to wire money to your paypal account. In a few days he claims that customs has  a hold of the package and requires a fee to release it. He then sends numerous bogus emails to you with a forged Paypal letter head explaining the fees that you need to pay. Dont be fooled by this guy!

He tried do the same to me but thanks to these guys on here saved me!!! Do not do business with this [***] he will offer you more money then you asked, insisting you make a paypal account to send you the money, if you believed that part and made an account no worries it's very easy to close the account. THANKS TO THE GUYS ABOVE ME, SAVED ME A WHOLE LOT OF HASSLE ^^^^
