Scammers trolling Craigslist and wasting my time.
This number texted/called claiming to be an interested buyer on an item listed on Craigs List. She (Amy Cooper) initially requested Paypal account information. Instead we sent an "invoice" to the email account (there were two) as requested. We immediately received an email from "Paypal" saying that the amount was paid, but an additional amount would need to be sent via Western Union.
Email in part reads:
