Got a text message from this number trying to get me to send an item that I was selling over Craigslist and they would pay me with PayPal.  The ad said cash only.

same here, I just assumed it was a scam based on the two other texts I had received earlier.  I texted back and said if you have a fiancee overseas and you want my paypal email the answer is: no, otherwise: yes.

by the way , the fiancee bit is what they had texted me earlier.

I recieved this text from someone claiming to purchase item i have on Craigslist!
He is a scammer who uses different burn phones to con people........
The numbers & area code do not coincide with the state or city items are sold......
This number 864-660-9413 comes from Greenville, S.C.
The scammer will never call you to discuss business.....He will use the word "courier" and pay by check....

Same story as all the others above.  

Look out for these kinds of scams.
