same here person claim to be in texas but text in between mid night and 9 am so at least 8 to ten hours to the east of usa or they dont sleep at all at night.
i had fun for a while responding and wasting their time but yes that is a scam and be careful

Yeah, just got text from them asking if my furniture on craigslist was still available. Haven't responded to then yet, figured I would research the # 1st.....glad I did, now i'm  gonna go [***] with them.........

So Glad I looked up this guys Phone number.  We listed furniture on Craigslist, nice stuff, not cheap.  This guy sends me a txt saying he will pay asking price but will only pay via Pay-Pal and pick would be arranged later.  We will in DE, this number is from TX.  Who buys used  furniture, buys top dollar, then ships across the county?  Smelled scam from the start...

Selling a pool table and got text about setting up Pay-pal account. Scam!!!!!!

SCAM ,HE WANT ME TO SEND THE ITEAN FIRST.
