I posted an add on Craigslist for a laptop. Received a text that the person was willing to pay $100 more than posting and could not come by to look at the machine...just send PayPal email address.

1) Called PayPal and confirmed that if ALL the person has is your email address, your account is fine.
2) IF you send your email address, and you receive a notice of payment, DO NOT access your PayPal account via these email links.  Go directly to your personal PayPal account via a secured website to verify funds have, or have not been received.
3) If it is fraudulent, forward the email notification to spoof@PayPal.com
4) PayPal has specific information in their emails identifying it as a legit email. This information can be found on the PayPal website.

I also got an email from this person/bot
------

soon as possible

There's not even mention of what I'm selling.

I haven't replied but from what I'm reading above this is very scammy.
flagging this as spam and hopefully someone else won't fall for this.

They are still at it...

Just got an email from Sarah Peter - psarah81@gmail.com

I have just received an email from them.

Just got a text from this number about them wanting to buy my item from craigslist. After checking the number here as I always do I texted them back telling them I know they are scammers and that I have turned their number into the proper authority's. They have not returned my text. Thanks for everyones reports on this number if we keep this up maybe they will get a clue that people are not as stupid as they are and hopefully they will get busted and stung up  the balls,
