I posted and ad on craiglists and 9095661302 responded (Thru tex)  asking a few basic questions. Telling me he agrees with the price and can only pay thru Paypal. "Once it clears I will have my mover come over and pick it up becuase currently I'm on tour." I then asked him for his per. information so I could send him an invoice. Of course he didn't send it and insisted all I have to do is accept his payment. He attempted to send me the funds with  additional  $350 for the "mover" located approx. 2,000 miles away. He attempted to send the money with a Stipulation. I send the funds to the mover first so the transaction can be complete thru WESTERN UNIION via a store or online. His mover was Jerry Brewer, Greenville Mississippi. I DID NOT ACCEPT THE Transaction. When we spoke on the phone and I told him he was a scam he hung up.
