I am selling a wedding dress on craigslist and got a text from someone telling me he was a marine engineer and that he wouldn't be able to pick it up. He wanted to pay me using paypal. Immediately, I think scam. He talks a little more, all the while I am searching for Paypal scams on craigslist. Sure enough, the first thing that comes up is 95% what is happening to me (guy never said he was on an oil rig). Just wanted to report the number, just in case this can go anywhere. No money lost, just trying to save others.
