Buddy listed boat on Craig's list. Guy texts him from michigan. Says he wants boat and is putting money in pay pal and will arrange transport. Sound like hoax?

Sounds legit. Just make sure your buddy sends his SSN and DOB to make sure everything goes smoothly.

Never EVER accept Paypal as a payment method for something like this.

Your buddy is an idiot.

Sometimes you have to allow people to be stupid. It's good for them. As soon as he ships that boat that paypal reversal will be immediate

Tried to sell a car on CL once. Out of the 14 emails I got, one was an actual person, and it was a low-ball offer. I just said frick it and traded it in.
