Selling some furniture via kijiji - received the following from a potential buyer; " What's your paypal email address so that I can send the funds to you asap" - Claims to want to sent agent to collect the goods.
I'm suspicious because the buyer seems willing to pay for something sight unseen. Is this a likely a scam?
