I know this is not car related but i actually got a text from one of these scammers! I thought they all stuck to email but apparently they are adapting to the digital age! I am selling a camera on CL and i got a text about him wanting to send it to his brother in africa and he would pay 80 is shipping charges and all of this would transpire through PayPal. So i will take this opportunity to scam the scammer because i am tired of hearing about them prey on people. I told him what my PayPal email was and to send the payment there. He said he would need an invoice, so i took the opportunity to start flipping the words around and make this look like a donation. I said ok i will send you a reciept for tax purposes for your genrouse donation. I then said be sure to let me know when your dontation is sent. I then texted them again and said, be sure that when you send the payment you send it as a gift this way niether you or i will be charged any fees for your donation. I received a text back saying ok so hopefully this works.
