craigslist scammer.  claims is working out of state and wanted to buy my motorcycle for his dad for $100 more than the asking price if i would take down the ad and consider it sold to him.  wanted to do transaction over paypal and have someone come pick it up after the money cleared.  have found many other posts of this same number with same story (trying to buy trailer, etc.)

Is this a scam ? I just had the same text.

This is a scam.  Anytime you have someone willing to pay more than the asking price is a red flag especially when someone else will pick the item up after payment has cleared.  Report such text messages to 7726 unless you are on AT&T which you will forward to SPAM.  These are scammers wanting to take you to the cleaners.

April 25 - Alexander from this number did the "consider it sold" spill on a boat we just listed on craigslist.  These people should be stopped!

Got the same message concerning a camper we're selling.
