selling on craigslist

[cmartin]

I have my jeep posted for sale on craigslist. I have had 2 different people contact me wanting to know if it was still available. I get back with them and give my name and phone number and tell them to call.

Then i get another email with them telling me they will buy it. One was for there uncle and the other was for there dad. They want to pay through paypal and have someone come pick it up after paymet clears. They want my paypal name and email address and more pics. I really feel like it is a scam. Just didnt know if anyone else has had this happen or sold items this wasy.

In fact here is one of the emails

I'm interested and consider it sold, I'm buying it for my father and payment would be through PayPal, my agent will come for pick up, actually I'm working in a ship and most time I am off shore. Expecting your prompt reply, with the name and email address on the your PayPal account so that I can make the payment and please provide me with recent pictures including this item so I can see the condition before we proceed since I would not be seen it in person so I can make a payment right away, and pick up would at your residence. And lastly, I'm offering additional $100 to your final price for you to keep it off from other offer. If you don't have paypal account yet, it is very easy to set up, go to http://www.paypal.com and get it set up.. looking forward to your response.
