Exact same scam still running through Craigslist. Same copy paste email responses. Will not respond to questions. They start out asking a question to get a response ("Is this item still for sale?" even though it was listed just minutes before) my email response had email info. I Googled his name and found this post which confirmed what my gut and common sense was telling me.

Basically same scenario as stated previously, buyer want to use paypall for transaction and have agent pickup the item. Even gave instructions on how to set up PayPal.
I told him that his agent could bring me cash when he came to pick upthe item. After that he dd not respond.
He did not ask if I could go lower on my price, simply agreed to it, red flag.moslt any legit buyer would Haggal a bit to get the best deal, so be smart.
