I just listed a high end item on Craigslist here in AZ and also recieved several texts of customers wanting to purchase. Both said they were in Texas. The first guy seemed legit - he asked about the conditon of the item, etc. He wanted to use paypal so i figured he might be legit. So i called him and talked to him. His english was broken and the phone eventually died. So we continued texting. In order to make the transaction truely legit, and to determine if he was a scammer, I told him that i would send him an invoice from Paypal, which I did. He paid the $7000 immediately so i thougth wow, maybe i was wrong. The funds are pending but i'm starting to think this was a scam. I would appreciated the thoughts of anyone who may have gone this far into a transaction. Should I be concerned that i have begun the transaction through Paypal?? Advice please...
