Is this Fraud?

[jackthebeagle59]

I posted an add on criags list selling a ring. I left a number where they could send me texts for more questions. I keep getting text asking if I still have the ring and when I tell them yes they want my paypal address. Why would they need that? What makes me question this is, the ring is $1500.00. So if i were going to spend that much money on something I would want to ask some questions. I know the description is in the post as well as pictures, but wouldn't someone spending that much money as least want to know where the ring is coming from or how it will be shipped or what kind of payments I would accept? Any help with this question would be great.

Thanks

I posted a ring on craigs list. left a number where they could text if they wanted more info. I have gotten several messages asking if i still had the ring and wanting my paypal address. It's linked to my bank account and I'm wondering why they would need it. What makes me question it is they they haven't asked any questions about the ring at all. I know it's descrpition is in the post, but i wouldn't buy something that cost more than a few dollars without asking more questions. I mean, i'm talking about $1500.00 here, that's a lot of money not to ask any questions. Would like all the help i can get.

  Thanks,

There are loads of scams but without more info difficult to say which yours is.

But remember x2 things.

1. I would not send an item that costly internationally.

2. If there are no funds in your paypal balance DO NOT SEND ANYTHING, be careful as there are lots of scammers that use realistic emails pretending to be from paypal and telling you the money will only show when you provide a tracking number.

Even if you are a new seller and the funds are temp pending/ held they will still SHOW IN YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT BALANCE /TRANSACTION HISTORY.

Be very careful.
