Got a spam text from this number in reply to an ad for something I was selling on craigslist. They were trying the whole "I'm overseas in the Marines, can you ship the item to my friend" scam.

Just got the same text, they want my to open a Paypal account, my item is cash only and pick up.

me the same situation, but how can she get our money from Paypal?

Got a text early this morning from someone claiming to be in the Marines wanting to buy an item I put on Craigslist.  They offered more than the asking price to include shipping.  All I had to do was send them my Paypal email address.  I don't know how many people will see this message but I was suspicious.  I did not give out any information.  When I questioned them on payment they got very defensive and somewhat pushy on wanting my info.  Please beware if you receive a text from this number.

they got me...I shipped my ps3 and got ripped off!!!!
