I had the same issue on Kijiji in Canada. I got two text messages one from a Mary & John Moore and from a Kent Tata. Both wanted to pay via PayPal. One offered $100.00 more then the asking price. The Phone numbers used were a 203 and a 207 area code neither are in Canada. Email addresses are as follows [email protected] and [email protected]. Please avoid these ones this too as its a scam!!
First time for me to get anything like this on Kijiji. I immediately felt this was all too good to be true and my partner said he was very uncomfortable with them not trying to get the price down .
I guess I want to know how they got my phone number?

Welcome to Scamwarners,

Is you number listed on your ad?

What is the complete phone numbers the scammers used?

The scammer wanted to send you a fake Paypal payment. He has a fake Paypal address from a free email provider. The payment would look real. Its a screen shot of a fake payment. Depending on what you were selling he would either try to steal your money or property. If it was a vehicle or large item, he would pretend to make an overpayment. He then will instruct you to pay a mover, shipper or agent. The fake Paypal email from the scammer would say that your Paypal funds will be released when you send the scammer (mover,agent or shipper) money via Western Union or Money Gram. In reality Paypal would never hold your funds.

Log into Paypal directly without any links to check for monies received or call Paypal directly from the number on their site.

If you are selling electronics, Cell phones or computers then the scammer is trying to steal your "item". Your fake funds will be released when you send the scammer a scan copy of a receipt showing you mailed your item.

This same scam works with fake check and money orders. You and your bank will think they are real. After you cash the fake check. Days or weeks later your bank will inform you of the fraud. Your bank will have you repay the monies. Possibly close your account for fraud and report you to Law Enforcement.

The best thing to do is to sell in person face to face in a public place.

Also got a response from this same email/person. Phone number was 1-305-834-7609
