Same exact thing happened to me today. Posted furniture for $1000 on craigslist. email from her saying:
get back to me at Ridinglow834 (at)gmail. com if this is still up for sale and let me know your price


Then when I followed up:

Victoria Davies <[email protected]>

Good to hear back from you. I'm okay with the price and the condition.
Presently, I am always busy at work and do not have much time around
me to make or answer calls. I will be paying you through PayPal as it
is the only Medium at which i can send Payment at the Moment. I would
appreciate if you email me with more pictures (if available) too since
i won't be be able to see this in person. And if you don't have a
PayPal account, It's pretty easy to set up a PayPal account at
http://www.paypal.com . it's just a few minutes away from signing up. it's
safe and secure for both Parties and i have been using PayPal to buy
and sell for years now without problems. Please get back to me with
your PayPal email so i
can proceed with the payment and contact the Pick up Agent who will
come for the Pick up of the item.
I will need these following details so i can proceed with the payment right away


1:Your PayPal e-Mail Address
2: Home Address


As soon as you get back to me with your PayPal email, I'll proceed
with full Payment. I look forward to reading from you soon.

Regards
Victoria


Immediately knew it was sketchy when she can't call.
