Got a message from this number replying to my CraigsList advertisement. Said he'll pay me more than what I was selling for, if I shipped it. I gave him my paypal address and I got a confirmation email, supposedly from PayPal, saying that the transfer was done. This was the email they used : paypalmonitoring@ymail.com.
Then I got a text from him saying that the payment was completed and I have to mail the item. The address was somewhere in Nigeria.

The "confirmation" email looked quite legit, so be careful with this one.

I just got a text from this number as well.

I have the same story as Pravin(above).. just did a reverse look up of the number and it brought me to this forum. Looks like Im not the  only one that this has happened to. Same deal..he offered to give me more than I asked and pay shipping costs. I proceeded to send the email info.. then started receiving emails saying it was from paypal and they needed me to ship the item and the shipping/tracking number before i was paid. it was fishy because they wanted it to go to Nigeria! I shipped it and gave the tracking number. THen kept getting emails about having difficulties with the payment. they needed to verify the receipt , etc. I called the customer service line and they had no transaction of my sell. No money was ever put into my account and the emails i received  were not from paypal. I had to go back to the post office and put a stop on the package or package intercept So that I would get the item back. Then change all my account info because I think they tried to hack me.

Was it legit? did you ever get your money or the item back?

so what happened? You get your money or was it a scam?
